Opening a PureCoverage Data File (.cfy)

Related Topics

 

1.           Open the Open dialog box.

2.           Use the directories and drives options to locate the PureCoverage data file (.cfy) or Purify error and coverage data file (.pcy) you want to open.

3.           Select the file.

Notes:

§                  You can open a .cfy or .pcy file by dragging and dropping it onto the PureCoverage user interface or desktop icon, or the Microsoft Visual Studio main window (if you installed the Visual Studio integration). You can also type the following at the command line: coverage "D:\purecoverage\testing\<filename>.cfy".

§                  When you open a .cfy file, PureCoverage reapplies the settings. If you save data to a .cfy file, you can later view the data in PureCoverage's windows and compare the results from one run with the results of subsequent runs, and also share the data with other PureCoverage users.

§                  When you open a .pcy file, PureCoverage displays only the coverage data. To view both error data and coverage data, open the .pcy file in Rational Purify.

§                  By default, PureCoverage displays the .cfy or .pcy file in the Coverage Browser window. You can set a run preference to display the file in the Function List window or in both windows.

§                  PureCoverage data files (.cfy) are not always compatible from release to release. To find out if there are compatibility problems, read the PureCoverage Readme.txt file for each release.
