  • Patent number: 9280442
    Abstract: A unit test coverage report system and method may generate a coverage report to indicate the success or failure of current unit tests and the amount of further testing that is required to fully test an application undergoing development. The system or method may receive a source code file including a plurality of source code units, wherein each source code unit corresponds to one of a plurality of comments sections. The system or method may then parse the plurality of comments sections and extract an identification of each source code unit from the plurality of comments sections. The identification may then be compared to a list of tested source code units and the comparison added to a unit test coverage report.

  • Patent number: 9268665
    Abstract: Metrics associated with computer code files within a codebase may be analyzed to identify bug-prone files. Functions of the method or system may determine metrics corresponding to each file of a plurality of codebase files within an application codebase. The functions may also store the metrics corresponding to each codebase file in a record of a database table, rank order the plurality of codebase files according to at least one metric, and flag each codebase file having a ranking over a threshold value of the metric. The codebase file metrics may describe fault-inducing characteristics of the plurality of codebase files and include both a total number of previous faults and a total number of changes that are associated with each codebase file.
