How to do a meaningful code-coverage analysis of my unit-tests?

Is there a tool that displays lines that have been executed (called) and lines that were not executed when executing a specific case so that I know that there are still lines that havent been covered by “this” specific case.

Something like that will be pretty handy in writing robust code. I am sure there is, but I dont know the exact terms to google.

In general, is there a good testing environment for testing the code. Not talking about code that runs on the web (like Django and stuff), just normal coding stuff.

Thanks

If you are using django, have a look at django-nose which uses the nose test framework of which coverage is a plugin.

You can then easily check the coverage status by running python manage.py tests --with-coverage
