Unit test code coverage

I have a bunch of unittest files that I run using

runtests(pwd,'IncludeSubfolders', true)

I want to know how can I add the code coverage to that line. I read something about 'ReportCoverageFor'but I couldn't use it.

Add matlab.unittest.plugins.CodeCoveragePlugin to your test runner as shown on this documentation page.

what's the differance between the test runner and runtests? which one is better to use?

[Chi]

From the documentation page above,

"runner = testrunner creates a default test runner, which is similar to the runner that the testing framework configures by default when you call the runtests function."

The short answer is that a testrunner is more customizable with additional plugins, see Customize Runner to Generate Test Artifact.
