In order for CTP to gather coverage information related to your manual tests, you will need to configure the components in your environment to use one of your deployed application coverage agents. This section assumes that you have already configured coverage agents for the application under test (AUT) using Parasoft dotTEST or Jtest (the recommended method), or using one of the command line coverage tools shipped with SOAtest or CTP that you can use to analyze application binaries when you don't have access to the project's source code. If you have not, please see Configuring the Application Under Test for Coverage for more information.

Connecting Coverage Agents to CTP Components

You can confirm that the components in your environment have been connected to coverage agents easily. Open the Environment Manager and edit your environment diagram. Click the Coverage Agents tab and you will see a convenient table organized by component name that includes coverage agent, build ID, and DTP project information for each.

If you find a component that needs to be connected to a coverage agent but is not, go back to the Diagram tab to configure that connection:

Coverage Agents in Multi-User Mode

If you have multiple testers working on a web application at the same time, it is recommended that you run your coverage agents in multi-user mode. When a component in an environment is configured to a coverage agent running in single-user mode, you will only be able to run one test at a time in that environment. How you run your coverage agent in multi-user mode depends on which coverage agents you're using.

• Jtest: Be sure both jtest.agent.enableMultiuserCoverage and jtest.agent.autoloadMultiuserLibs are enabled in the agent.properties.
  • Note: When jtest.agent.enableMultiuserCoverage is enabled, jtest-otel-ext.jar and opentelemetry-javaagent.jar will be automatically loaded from the agent.jar directory. All three are included in the coverage agent download and should be deployed to the same directory when the coverage agent is installed.
• dotTEST: Invoke the agent with the command agent_client.exe -multiuser.

See Application Coverage for more information about configuring coverage agents.

Regardless of which coverage agent you are using, each tester's browser needs to be set up to inject the following HTTP header (where <USER> is the tester's CTP username): 
baggage: test-operator-id=<USER>

If this header is not injected, you will not capture any coverage data. You can inject this header using a browser extension.
