Code Coverage

[Français][Deutsch]

Code Coverage / Test Coverage

Code coverage / Test coverage describes the degree to which the source code of a software has been tested.
Test Coverage is measured during test execution. Prior to test execution an instrumentation component of the coverage tool inserts measurement code into the code. The program part is logged as covered when the measurement code has been executed.
There are many different coverage measures. Most coverage tools provide just simple coverage metrics (like statement coverage and branch coverage).

Testwell CTC++ is a test coverage tool which checks for all coverage levels:

  • Function Coverage
  • Statement Coverage
  • Decision Coverage
  • Condition/Branch Coverage
  • Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC)
  • Multiple Condition Coverage (MCC)
As Testwell CTC++ analyses also for the highest coverage levels, it is used to analyse code coverage for critical software projects i.e. in aeronautics, automotive, and healthcare sectors.

Testwell CTC++ can be used with all embedded targets and all compilers !
The tool has also the broadest language support: C, C++, Java and C#.

 

Tools:
Testwell CTC++ all coverage levels - all compilers – all targets !
CTC++ for Java and C# add-on
