Highlights of Clover 2.5
Test Optimization in Clover for Eclipse and IDEA
Clover's much-lauded feature called Test Optimization is now available in Clover for Eclipse and Clover for IntelliJ IDEA, bringing the ability to run only the tests that have been affected by changes to program code. In many cases this will cut down the running time of your test phases and allow you to run them far more often. This is in sharp contrast with the traditional 'shotgun testing' which indiscriminately runs every single test, regardless of whether any code within has changed.

Distributed Per-Test Coverage
With the new Distributed Per-Test Coverage feature, Clover now has the ability to record per-test coverage from tests that are running in separate test JVMs, which may be co-sited or distributed around a network. This allows you to roll together results from unit and functional tests, from JVMs running different test frameworks, possibly in remote locations, yet resulting in a single unified view of your project's code coverage.
This feature also allows you to run Clover's famous Test Optimization on your functional tests. A battery of functional tests (being generally more time-consuming than unit tests) strongly benefits from the ability to run only the tests on code which has changed.
