Use the Compare Runs dialog box to select a run (identified as the Base run) to compare against another run (identified as the New run, and also labeled Current run in the Compare Runs dialog box) to view coverage improvements and regressions. PureCoverage creates an entry for the resulting Diff dataset in the Navigator.
These are the main controls in the dialog box:
Notes:
§ When you compare runs from programs that have been modified between runs, the annotated source code will not be completely accurate because the source lines represented by each of the runs are different.
§ For the results to be meaningful, compare runs that use the same coverage level for each module. For example, if the current run used line level, the run you compare it against should have used line level as well.
