What is code coverage a measure of?

What is code coverage a measure of?

Code coverage is a measurement of how many lines/blocks/arcs of your code are executed while the automated tests are running. Code coverage is collected by using a specialized tool to instrument the binaries to add tracing calls and run a full set of automated tests against the instrumented product.

What is run with coverage?

By amount of testing we mean what parts of the application program are exercised when we run a test suite. In other words, test coverage is defined as a technique which determines whether our test cases are actually covering the application code and how much code is exercised when we run those test cases.

What’s the difference between code coverage and test coverage?

Code Coverage really talks about unit testing practices that have to target all areas of the code at least once and is done by developers. Test Coverage, on the other hand, is testing every requirement at least once and is obviously a QA team activity. What really qualifies to be a covered requirement depends on the interpretation of each team.

How to get code coverage of an application?

I have to get the code coverage of a application while business test are executed from a different code base. I use: Maven as my build Jbehave as my testing framework. The test are written in java. My application is a set of war files deployed on tomcat. The application code base is separate from test code base.

How are executable lines of code counted in code coverage?

For purposes of calculating code coverage, only executable lines of code are counted, whether covered or uncovered. Comments and blank lines are not counted, and System.debug () statements and curly braces that appear alone on one line are also not counted.

Why does code coverage not enter the body of a loop?

Code coverage that appears to “stop” and not enter the body of a loop, such as a for or while, stems from the same cause as with control structures: the test environment doesn’t meet the preconditions for the loop body to execute. Here’s an example:
