Code Coverage

Code coverage solutions can help you optimize test coverage and manage code complexity. Structural coverage analysis, also known as code coverage analysis, provides a measure of the extent to which software code has been exercised under specific test conditions. Structural (or code) coverage is a dynamic analysis metric that describes the extent to which embedded software code has been exercised during test. There are many different metrics for structural coverage – some much easier to achieve than others – but the easier they are to achieve, the less the code under test is exercised in their achievement. Our tools can handle all common practice industry metrics.

A Measure of Test Effectiveness

Code coverage is a metric that measures the extent to which your software's source code is executed during testing. It's a valuable tool for assessing the quality and completeness of your test suite.

Why is Code Coverage Important?

  1. Identifies Untested Code:
    • Pinpoints areas of your code that aren't covered by your tests.
    • Helps you focus on writing tests for these uncovered areas.
  2. Improves Test Suite Quality:
    • Encourages you to write comprehensive tests that exercise various code paths.
    • Helps ensure that your software behaves as expected in different scenarios.
  3. Reduces Risk of Defects:
    • By increasing test coverage, you can catch more bugs and defects early in the development process.
    • This can lead to higher software quality and fewer issues in production.
