Walkthrough - Rerunning your Program

Related Topics

The final step in monitoring and improving coverage is to rerun your program or tests to hit the parts of your code that PureCoverage identified as missed.

Use the Navigator to keep track of multiple runs.

By default, PureCoverage merges data for all runs in the current session into an Auto Merge run. You can also merge selected run results manually using the Merge tool in the Run Control toolbar.

You can perform a comparison between two runs using the Diff tool in the Run Control toolbar. A comparison shows in detail the differences in coverage between the runs, and allows you to compare and evaluate revisions you make to your tests.

You can save coverage data as a PureCoverage data file (.cfy), to use for further analysis or to share with other PureCoverage users. You can save data to a tab-delimited ASCII text file (.txt) to use outside of PureCoverage, for example, in test scripts or in Microsoft Excel. You can also copy data from the Coverage Browser window to use in a text editor, or from the Function List window to perform further analysis in Excel.
