images\coverage_sml.gifAuto Merge

A feature that automatically merges the coverage data from all runs of the same program in the current session. An Auto Merge entry is automatically created for this data in the Navigator when you run a program and collect coverage data.

To turn off this feature, deselect Automatic merge in the Runs tab in the Preferences dialog box.

By default, data is combined into an undifferentiated dataset, as if all the data had been collected from a single run.

Alternatively, you can turn on the ActiveMerge feature. Data is then combined in a layered dataset that allows you to distinguish and evaluate the contribution of each run.

See also ActiveMerge and Merge in the glossary.
