Use the Save Copy As dialog box to specify a file name, location, and file type for the file where you want to save PureCoverage data.
These are the main controls in the dialog box:
Save in |
Displays the available directories and files. |
File list |
Displays the directories and files in the selected location. |
File name |
Type a file name. If you select a file name that already exists, PureCoverage asks if you want to overwrite the file. |
Save as type |
Displays available file formats and extensions. Select the file type you want to use. You can save data to a PureCoverage data file (.cfy) or to an ASCII text file (.txt). |
Notes:
§ When you save data to a .cfy file, PureCoverage saves any settings in effect. 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 save data to a .txt file, PureCoverage saves the data and details about the run. The data is tab-delimited so that it can be easily imported into a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel. If you save data to a .txt file, you can use the file with test harnesses or scripts, or share the file with colleagues who do not have PureCoverage.
§ By default, PureCoverage uses the following file names:
§ <exename>.cfy and <exename>.txt for a program run
§ <exename>_AutoMerge.cfy and <exename>_AutoMerge.txt for an Auto Merge run
§ <exename>_UserMerge.cfy and <exename>_UserMerge.txt for a run you merged manually
