Reportgenerator: Allow browsing covered code more easily

[dotnetjunkie]

Hi Daniel,

We just switched to OpenCover and ReportGenerator with Simple Injector. A really nice combination and I love how nicely the coverage reports look.

What I'm missing though is a way to navigate really quickly through classes and jump directly to methods that are not (fully) covered. In a sense, what I'm missing who the old NCover v3 interface worked, as shown below:

The most important part that this UI has (what I'm missing with ReportGenerator) is that:

• The left panel [5] of the screen has a list with 'elements' that can be clicked, and are shown in the right panel [7].
• The left panel shows an hierarchical view of classes (with a coverage percentage) and per class its methods with their coverage.

I would really love to see a report type added that would mimic this behavior.

Hi Steven,

thanks for your suggestion. I will have a look at that.
But it will probably take a while, since I'm quite busy at the moment.

The class view now contains a list of all methods and properties for a quick navigation

The new feature is available in this beta release:

It took some time for me to be able to try it out, but I have to say this is truly awesome. Thanks for all the hard work you're taking into this. Your work makes it much easier for me to improve Simple Injector.
