C++ Code coverage in Visual Studio Professional IDE

Question

We are currently using Visual Studio Professional edition as an IDE for our organization. Recently we came to need to have code coverage for our C++ code base. And we found that there is none support (as far as I could find out) in the professional edition. Visual Studio has code coverage only in Enterprise edition.

Now I need to know is there any other tool available from Visual Studio /Microsoft for VS professional users to get code coverage for C++ source code ? OR is there any MS recommended third part tool available that one can use it?

Any help/pointer would be greatly appreciated. TIA
