There is an answer for similar question Laravel 5: PHPUnit and no code coverage driver available that works, but i have xdebug installed.

(if this matter I'm using: windows7, netbeans8.1, php7, wamp3)

Displaying code coverage in Netbeans result in:

Error: No code coverage driver is available

, and the output is below:

"C:\wamp\www\treningPHPUnitSymfony2.8\bin\phpunit.bat" "--colors" "--log-junit" "C:\Users\chiny\AppData\Local\Temp\nb-phpunit-log.xml" "--coverage-clover" "C:\Users\chiny\AppData\Local\Temp\nb-phpunit-coverage.xml" "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.1\php\phpunit\NetBeansSuite.php" "--" "--run=C:\wamp\www\treningPHPUnitSymfony2.8\src\TreningBundle\Tests\Controller\RabarbarControllerTest.php" PHPUnit 5.3.4 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

There are 2 php.ini files in most Apache/PHP installations and definitely in WAMPServer

To amend the correct php.ini used by PHP in Apache use the menus

wampmanager->PHP->php.ini

But for the php.ini file used by the PHP CLI you have to manually edit 

\wamp\bin\php\php{version}\php.ini

the result of a php -v should look like this if XDEBUG is configured in the CLI

php -v

NOTE

The current WAMPServer 3 is 3.0.4 ADDON upgrades can be found on SourceForge

The latest ADDON PHP Version is PHP7.0.6 also available on SourceForge

See The WampServer Forum to keep up to date with the latest releases of PHP / MYSQL / Apache ADDONS for WAMPServer 3

Also :

You may find that you have to tweek the XDEBUG config parameters in the php.ini to suit your specific needs
