Software Requirements
NCover can profile any programming language that runs on the .NET Framework Common Language Runtime and conforms to the CLI specification. NCover supports all versions of the .NET Framework that Microsoft has released and still supports. Currently, this includes .NET 1.1 (.NET 1.0 is unsupported), .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0, .NET 3.5, .NET 3.5 SP1, .NET 4.0, and .NET 4.5.
Software requirements specifically for the machine running Code Central:
- .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 must be installed on the machine where you plan to run Desktop.
- Use of the NCover web GUI requires IE9, Firefox 14 or higher, or Google Chrome 20 or higher. A stand-alone NCover Explorer application is provided where a compatible web browser is not available.
Hardware Requirements
Hardware requirements are heavily dependent on the covered application and usage, so it is not possible to provide an optimal hardware configuration that will work well in every situation.
Following are the basic requirements for a typical development build server with combined use for building, testing, and covering the software:
- CPU - 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster x64 processor with 4 cores
- MEMORY - 8 gigabyte (GB) RAM x64
- STORAGE - 20 GB available hard disk space (determined by volume of coverage data)
Following are the basic requirements for a typical server which does not profile local processes, but collects coverage data from clients, aggregates data, and provides reporting and license management:
- CPU - 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster x64 processor with 4 cores
- MEMORY - 4 gigabyte (GB) RAM x64
- STORAGE - 40 GB available hard disk space (determined by volume of coverage data and trend data)
