Well, there was one, done as a CFbuilder extension, by a former Adobe engineer, but it’s not been updated since 2012. More on it at his blog: <http://kunalsaini.blogspot.in/2012/05/rancho-code-coverage-tool-for.html> http://kunalsaini.blogspot.in/2012/05/rancho-code-coverage-tool-for.html. It’s still available in github ( <https://github.com/ksaini/Rancho_CFB> https://github.com/ksaini/Rancho_CFB) and riaforge ( <http://rancho.riaforge.org/> http://rancho.riaforge.org/)

I’m not aware that anyone else ever did one, and I would not expect it likely that anyone would.

The best thing (for someone interested in the topic) would seem to be to work on reviving that one (see comments about others sharing thoughts, in the blog post), though again it does rely on CFB (which back then was CFB2. I don’t know whether it would work in the later CFB3 or latest CFB2016).

Finally, FWIW, note that there is a free 60-day trial of CFB, and after that it turns into the free Express edition if you don’t enter a license key (more on that at <https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2017/11/did-you-know-theres-a-free-express-edition-of-coldfusion-builder/> https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2017/11/did-you-know-theres-a-free-express-edition-of-coldfusion-builder/). Note that the Express edition does NOT preclude use of Extensions, like this Rancho one.
