It really should be independent of a unit testing tool, and honestly in the case of ColdFusion it would be a royal PITA to do without some peeks at the source code. Just like when we talk about methods or classes should do one thing and do it very well, code analysis and exercising tools typically should do one thing and do it well, otherwise you might loose confidence in a certain tool. In order to get code coverage statistics some sort of code instrumentation is needed and typically this is the last thing you want your unit testing framework doing. Beyond that I'd like to be able to collect code coverage for a broader array of testing other than just unit (we'll assume unit covers integration and some functional testing too). My load tests may not really mean much if it only exercises 50% of the code. Is my UAT really satisfactory if it only covers 30% of the decision paths? Here is an excellent Code Coverage paper I found this morning, http://www.bullseye.com/coverage.html .
For some examples of what code coverage can do check out Cobertura (this is for Java) http://cobertura.sourceforge.net/sample/ .
