I suggest to print a timestamp (current local time) in the "Coverage" and the "Coverage Log" tabs within the Fine Code Coverage window, similar to timestamps shown in the build and test output of Visual Studio.
Further, an additional run count (1, 2, 3, ...) in both tabs would simplify distinguishing subsequent runs.
Further, a horizontal bar or empty line in the "Coverage Log" between subsequent runs would visually help identifying the logs belonging to one run.
Current behavior
The Coverage Log shows the run duration, but not when the run was started. When the user walks away during a longer test run, it is not clear whether FCC updated the results.
Expected behavior
A timestamp shown in the "Coverage" and the "Coverage Log" tabs allows the user associating the coverage results with the timestamps shown in the build and test run output of Visual Studio.
In addition, an easy to memorize run count shown in the tabs further simplifies distinguishing subsequent runs.
In addition, a horizontal bar or empty line in the "Coverage Log" visually separates the output of subsequent runs.
Side Notes
Timestamp from Visual Studio build output:
Timestamp from Visual Studio test output:
No timestamps and no vertical separation between runs in "Coverage Log" tab of FCC:
