How do I use JaCoCo for branch coverage?

To use JaCoCo for branch coverage, you need to integrate it into your build process. Are you using Maven or Gradle?

I'm using Maven. What steps should I follow?

First, add the JaCoCo plugin to your pom.xml. Then, configure it to run during the test phase. Would you like a sample configuration?

Yes, please provide a sample configuration.

Here's a basic configuration:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
            <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>0.8.7</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
                <execution>
                    <id>report</id>
                    <phase>test</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>report</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

This will generate a report after your tests run.
