A sensor is invoked once for each module of a project, starting from leaf modules. The sensor can parse a flat file, connect to a web server... Sensors are used to add measure and issues at file level.

For example the Cobertura Sensor parses Cobertura report and saves the first-level of measures on files. For testing purpose you can use SensorContextTester
