Code Coverage Workflow Overview

Follow the procedure below to collect code coverage.

1. Instrument and build your code with the cpptestcc coverage tool; see Integrating Code Coverage with Project Build.
   This step produces .map files required for coverage data files generation.
2. Execute the instrumented application. See Executing Instrumented Application.
   This step produces a .clog file required for coverage data files generation.
3. Generate coverage data files using cpptestcov compute:  
   

   cpptestcov compute -map=.cpptest/cpptestcc -clog=cpptest_results.clog -out=cov-data-run1

   This step produces coverage data files used for generating reports.

4. Report coverage statistics using cpptestcov report text.

   cpptestcov report text cov-data-run1

The basic workflow can be further extended with the following steps:

• Generate an HTML report using cpptestcov report html.
• Report lines notcovered using cpptestcov report uncovered-lines.
• Merge multiple coverage data folders using cpptestcov merge.
• Publish coverage statistics to Parasoft DTP using cpptestcov report dtp.
• Report line coverage in lcov format using cpptestcov report lcov.
• Report line coverage in Cobertura format using cpptestcov report cobertura.
