Tips for Analyzing Multiple-run Coverage Data

§          If you have automated your tests, incorporate PureCoverage into your test scripts. The AutoMerge feature lets you check the level of coverage for your entire test suite. Compare results from day to day. A drop in coverage percentages can indicate that you are not covering new routines in the code, or that the program under test is not operating as expected.

§          To identify redundant tests, turn on the ActiveMerge feature. ActiveMerge creates subsequent merges as layered merges. With layered merges, you can do interactive "what-if's," removing and adding back the contributions from individual runs. You can also identify which test runs have hit any given line or function.
