    Patent number: 7904890
    Abstract: A mechanism is disclosed for determining how thoroughly a set of code has been tested. The mechanism involves identifying which portions within the set of code are interface portions and which portions are internal portions. A test is executed to test the set of code. Based upon a set of testing information derived from the test, an interface test metric is derived that provides a measure of how thoroughly the interface portions were tested by the test. Based upon the set of testing information, an internal test metric is derived that provides a measure of how thoroughly the internal portions were tested by the test. In one embodiment, an overall measure of how thoroughly the set of code has been tested by the test is derived, based upon the interface test metric and the internal test metric.
