Raw Data

In the Coverage API, the code coverage data that is recorded during a measurement.

From raw data you calculate the code coverage results for specified application components, packages or individual programs.

The Coverage API collects raw data when a measurement is started and automatically persists the data in the database. Since raw data is bulky, it is deleted automatically at the expiration of a retention period or when you finalize a measurement.

Raw data is also automatically deleted whenever the source code in a procedure or processing block is changed. If for example you monitor code coverage in a test or consolidation system, the raw data is reset whenever new code is imported into the system. Measurements and results that have been saved are not affected.

You can calculate new results or merge measurements only as long as the raw data of the measurement or measurements is available. The display of code coverage in the source code is also available only as long as the raw data is available.
