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++.
