About PureCoverage report scripts

Report scripts allow you to format and process the data that PureCoverage has saved in .pcv data files. PureCoverage includes a set of report scripts that you can:

Run as-is
Modify for your environment
Use as a starting-point for writing your own custom report scripts

PureCoverage includes the following report scripts:

Report Name	Script	Description
Coverage summary report	pc_summary	coverage data
Low coverage report	pc_below	Reports files with low coverage
Low coverage mail report	pc_email	Mails a low coverage report to the last user to modify insufficiently covered files
Spreadsheet report	pc_ssheet	Summarizes coverage data in spreadsheet format
Differences report	pc_diff	Lists files for which coverage has changed
Build differences summary report	pc_build_diff	Compares coverage data from two builds of an application
Annotated source report	pc_annotate	Annotates a copy of the source file with coverage data
Annotated differences report	pc_covdiff	Annotates the output of diff for modified source code
Selected tests report	pc_select	Identifies the subset of tests required to exercise modified source code

The scripts are located in the <purecovhome>/scripts directory. You can add the directory to your path, or install links to the scripts from a location such as /usr/local/bin. See the Installing and Getting Started manual for details about installing links. The scripts are written in Perl, a basic version of which is included with PureCoverage in the <purecovhome>/PERL directory.

All scripts accept the -force-merge and -apply-adjustments options. For general information about options, click

Note:

These scripts do not support .cfy data files. Tools provided by Rational XDE or PureCoverage for Windows (the Diff tool, for example) can provide some of the same information.
