History

When you choose Different History at the top of the Global View screen, a dialog box appears containing all the available recording versions of the Coverage Analyzer. When you choose Different History at the top of the Global View screen, a dialog box appears containing all the available recording versions of the Coverage Analyzer. The curve for this version is then displayed on the right of the screen.

A history contains all of the data and results recorded over a particular period of time. To create a new history, you have to switch the Coverage Analyzer off and then on again in the On/Off Status menu. This is recommended if the same changes have been made to all programs at the same time, for example, switching on the Unicode check. Other possible reasons include a release upgrade or a change in the coverage valuation.

Nodes

The Package view contains a tree structure in which test groups, persons responsible and packages are displayed as nodes. The node ALL is always displayed. The node COND is only displayed if data is summarized across several systems. You can expand and collapse the node levels in the usual way.

The screen above shows the node ALL together with its subnodes and selected attributes. You select the displayed attributes by choosing Settings Detail. You can show and hide additional information by choosing Detailed Node Information. You can change the widths of the columns of the individual attributes by placing the cursor at the edge of the column headers and dragging these to the left or right keeping the left mouse button pressed.

  • Percentage of program units executed
