Coveralls vs Docker: What are the differences?
Developers describe Coveralls as "Track your project's code coverage over time, changes to files, and badge your GitHub repo". Coveralls works with your CI server and sifts through your coverage data to find issues you didn't even know you had before they become a problem. Free for open source, pro accounts for private repos, instant sign up with GitHub OAuth. On the other hand, Docker is detailed as "Enterprise Container Platform for High-Velocity Innovation". The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere.
Coveralls can be classified as a tool in the "Code Coverage" category, while Docker is grouped under "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers".
Some of the features offered by Coveralls are:
- Repository Coverage Statistics
- Individual File Coverage Reports
- Line By Line Coverage
On the other hand, Docker provides the following key features:
- Integrated developer tools
- open, portable images
- shareable, reusable apps
