How can I create a filter file (.cft) for a specific module, such as a DLL?

Related Topics

You can create a PureCoverage filter file (.cft) that contains filters to hide data that originates from a specific module, whenever you monitor a program that uses that module.

For details about filter file names and their locations, click images\shortcut.gif.

To create the filter file:

1.    If a filter file already exists for the program you're monitoring, and you want to keep those filters, rename the file.

2.    Monitor your program.

3.    When PureCoverage displays the coverage data, in the Coverage Browser window right-click any source file or function in the module for which you want to create a filter file.

4.    Select QuickFilter from the shortcut menu. PureCoverage automatically saves the filter to the filter file <exename>_exe.cft, where <exename> is the name of the program you're monitoring.

5.    Rename <exename>_exe.cft using the module's filename for <exename>. For example, if you filtered data from MFC42.dll, rename the filter file MFC42_dll.cft.

Note:

§      To use the filter file you renamed in Step 1 again, remember to change the name back to its original filename.
