How to generate Function and Branch coverage? It is generating line coverage by default.

It only supports what Julia does. The package is a thin wrapper around `julia --code-coverage` and `lcov`.

There is a package for branch coverage: [GitHub - bcbi/MicroCoverage.jl: Code coverage generation for Julia, implemented in pure Julia](https://github.com/bcbi/MicroCoverage.jl). It comes from earlier package from Stephen Vivasis: [GitHub - StephenVavasis/microcoverage](https://github.com/StephenVavasis/microcoverage). You could probably get function coverage out of the line coverage using [LocalCoverage.jl](https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages/LocalCoverage/8ujwy/0.2.0).

I checked it, but I was not able to generate Code Coverage HTML report because of file ext “microcov”. How can I generate HTML report with Branch Coverage ?

I don’t know how to generate HTML from the branch coverage report. The format is sufficiently different from the standard `.cov` report that I don’t think it will read without modifying code.
