Currently, "assert" statements are counted like "if" statements, so they get "partial coverage" status. The documentation object with an assert statement is never meant to be executed, so it's questionable if the "assert" statement should be counted at all. This is a P4, because I don't think it's a Netbeans enhancement, it should probably be taken up with the Emma folks. But it's getting filed anyway.
The 6.7 beta code coverage plugin is no longer being maintained
