About Settings and Preferences (Coverage Monitoring)

Related Topics

Settings control how PureCoverage runs programs, including how it performs instrumentation for native-compiled (unmanaged) programs. For example, you can specify the instrumentation mode you want PureCoverage to use, the location of the cache directory, or the level of coverage data that PureCoverage collects. During installation, PureCoverage sets default values for various settings and preferences.

PureCoverage provides two types of settings:

§          Default settings that apply to all programs. You change default settings using the Default Settings dialog box. PureCoverage saves default settings in the Coveragew_pure.ini file.

§    Executable settings that apply only to a specific program. You change executable settings using the Settings for <exename> dialog box. PureCoverage saves executable settings in the <exename>_pure.ini file.

PureCoverage uses the default settings, unless you override them with executable settings. You can view the settings that were in effect for a particular run using the Run Summary window.

Preferences control how PureCoverage presents its windows and data, and determine the Java virtual machine (JVM) is used to monitor Java code.

You can change preferences using the Preferences dialog box. PureCoverage saves preferences in the Coverage.ini file.
