  • Uncoverage tool
    Patent number: 9021446
    Abstract: Indication of uncoverage information allows tests to be tailored to target those uncovered code units with the most potential to increase coverage of a program. A tool examines coverage information of a program to identify code units of the program that were not covered by test data used to exercise the program. The tool also examines structural information (e.g., control flow) for the program to identify those of the uncovered code units that have direct control flow from a corresponding covered code unit (“root level uncovered code units”). The coverage tool then measures potential impact on coverage for each of the root level uncovered code units.
