Rational® PureCoverage® provides code coverage information. You can use this information to assess how thoroughly you are testing your C and C++ code, and to pinpoint the parts of your application that your tests have not exercised.
PureCoverage can also collect coverage data for Java applications running on a Solaris SPARC 32-bit Java virtual machine (JVM); for information, click
With PureCoverage, you can:
Collect and view comprehensive coverage data interactively for individual and multiple runs. PureCoverage monitors coverage in all the code in an application, even multi-threaded applications, including third-party libraries.
Automate coverage data collection and processing by incorporating PureCoverage into your automated product testing.
Analyze coverage data in the interactive PureCoverage Viewer and Annotated Source window.
Generate reports to help you diagnose and remedy testing deficiencies.
Exclude selected files and directories from data collection to improve performance.
Adjust coverage data to make the statistics reflect your individual situation.
Fine-tune data collection using the PureCoverage API.
Merge coverage data from different programs that share common source code and from different builds.
Check your coverage at the same time as you check for memory leaks with Rational Purify, Rational Software's run-time error detection program, to make sure you have checked your entire application for errors.
File coverage defects directly from PureCoverage in Rational ClearQuest, Rational Software's defect-tracking tool.
