Coverage Validator Help

 

The Summary tab view displays a dashboard of high level information about the coverage of the current application.

The summary tab

 

The display shows various coverage statistics with percentages where appropriate.

 

Each dial summarises coverage of the different types of information found in the main tabs.

 

Files (Coverage)

Directories

DLLs

Functions

Branches and Function Branches

Lines

 

Clicking on the dials takes you to the corresponding main tab to explore in more detail.

 

note Branches gets two dials, one for just branches (Branches) and one for functions that contain branches (Function Branches)

 

 

Understanding the dials

 

Each dial displays:

 

numeric statistics on visited and unvisited items, and those items with 100% coverage
 

the unvisited/visited information as angular data

 

the 100% coverage as inner radial data
 

the partial coverage distribution as outer radial data  

 

 

Example:

 

The following dial summarises data on a total of 26,748 known functions in a complex target program

 

summary-dial-explanation

 

 

note The radius of the inner area may grow or shrink as the target program runs, since the proportion of visited functions that have 100% coverage can go up or down.

 

 

Status summary area

 

Below the dials is a status area showing any comments or special notices related to the current session.

 

Underneath the comments you'll find the status of any filters, unit tests, or session merging.

 

Clicking Edit... or View... opens a dialog to edit or view the relevant settings.

 

In most cases the settings shown are identical to the relevant page of the global settings dialog.
