| history version (BC-ABA) |
History or history version are identical terms used by the ABAP Coverage Analyzer (transaction SCOV).
A history or history version is an aggregated version of the code coverage statistics being generated in a system in which the coverage analyzer is active. A history or history version is displayed in the Global Display in the Coverage Analyzer.
The aggregated history is separate from and available in addition to the raw code coverage data that can be viewed with the Detail Display in the Coverage Analyzer.
Histories or history versions are useful for monitoring and reporting on code coverage, for example in a quality assurance test system. Histories can also be used for trend analysis in code coverage, since the Coverage Analyzer can maintain multiple history versions. For example, a QA manager can track whether code coverage is improving as a development project progresses.
