Hi @Jani Hurskainen - the short answer is "yes, TestCoverage is coupled to %UnitTest."

Can you elaborate on what you have in mind by "other unit testing frameworks" and/or what you're trying to achieve? %UnitTest is the only unit testing framework for ObjectScript that I'm aware of. Is your objective to unify Python and ObjectScript unit tests?

This is ObjectScript only. The other unit testing framework is in-house developed non-public xUnit like unit testing framework. It was developed before %UnitTest exists and I'm just wondering would it be possible to use TestCoverage with it. Unfortunately my ObjectScript skills are still lacking so it's a bit hard for me to figure that out from the code. The long term goal might be to try to adjust these two things to work together.

Ahh, I see. Honestly, if you're looking to adjust the two things to work together, you might be better off writing an adapter layer between %UnitTest.TestCase and your existing test case parent class rather than trying to make TestCoverage work for your custom unit test framework.
