LDRAcover™

Introduction

LDRAcover is the LDRA Code Coverage Reporting Tool. It provides users with the ability to quickly and easily view code coverage results such as callgraphs, flowgraphs, and code coverage reports in an interactive easy-to-use interface with powerful filtering capabilities.

LDRAcover provides test planning documents and colour-coded graphs to help you achieve the desired level of coverage, ranging from procedure/function calls to safety-critical modified condition/decision coverage.

LDRAcover also supports the verification of systems running customer provided test cases. These system tests can execute within LDRAcover, in a simulator or some other host-based environment or on a target platform.

Jack Ganssle, industry software guru and chief consultant for The Ganssle Group, underlines the criticality of complete code coverage: “Studies confirm that, without the use of code coverage analysis, testing typically exercises only 50% of the code. Given typical bug rates, that means 100K lines of code in a program will ship with 2500 to 5000 bugs. These bugs lead to many systems failures.”

“LDRAcover addresses this challenge, analysing the code and highlighting the sections that have not been executed by tests in an easy-to-see graphical interface,” confirmed Ian Hennell, LDRA Operations Director. “Thanks to tools like this, developers can quickly identify and correct application shortcomings whether they are caused by incomplete or erroneous test cases, imprecise or inadequate requirements or unexecutable dead code. In practical terms, code coverage cannot be performed manually. LDRAcover ensures companies can verify their applications with a focused, easy-to-use tool without having to invest in a complete tool chain.”
