Parasoft TCA is a tool developers can use to determine the coverage of Insure++. Using TCA with Insure++ gives developers a comprehensive bug-detection package. TCA reports which sections of code Insure++ tested, how much of the code was tested, and how often Insure++ executed each section. With TCA, developers can increase the efficiency and completeness of their testing, resulting in cleaner, more reliable code.

TCA provides coverage information on three levels. The Overall Summary shows the percentage of the total application that has been tested. The Function Summary displays the coverage of each individual function in an application. The Block Summary breaks down the coverage by individual program statement blocks.

One of TCA's most important features is its ability to test code in logical blocks. Most coverage analysis tools work on a line-by-line basis, a limitation that lengthens the testing process. Testing by block reduces the amount of data the developer needs to analyze and reveals which paths have been executed in addition to which statements.

Developers who need clear, reliable information on the thoroughness of their debugging can use TCA with Insure++.
