    - Code coverage
    - Memory profiling
      Memory profiling is the process of analyzing a program's memory usage to identify and address issues related to memory consumption and management. Memory profiling help to understand how a program utilizes memory, detect memory leaks, and optimize resource usage.

    - Performance Profiling
    - Viewing UML sequence diagrams
    - Advanced runtime tracing
    - Trace Probes for C
    - Coupling Analysis overview
      Coupling Analysis consists of Control Coupling and Data Coupling.
    - Application Profiling
      Application Profiling is gathering the main features that provide profiling information at the application level: the Worst Stack Size feature and the Worst performance (coming soon) feature.
  - Testing software components
  - Using the graphical user interface
  - Tests linked to requirements
    With HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), you can link a test case or a service to one or several requirements that come from another tool to create a traceability matrix between requirements and test results.

Coverage Bar

Runtime Tracing for C and C++

In C and C++, the coverage bar provides an estimation of code coverage.

Note The coverage bar is unrelated to the Code Coverage feature. For detailed code coverage reports, use the dedicated Code Coverage feature.

When using the Runtime Tracing feature, the UML/SD Viewer can display an extra column on the left of the UML/SD Viewer window to indicate code coverage simultaneously with UML sequence diagram messages.

The UML/SD Viewer code coverage bar is merely an indication of the ratio of encountered versus declared function or method entries and potential exceptions since the beginning of the sequence diagram.

If new declarations occur during the execution the graph is recalculated, therefore the coverage bar always displays a increasing coverage rate.

To hide the coverage bar:

Right-click inside the UML/SD Viewer window.
From the pop-up menu, select Hide Coverage.

To show the coverage bar:

Right-click inside the UML/SD Viewer window.
From the pop-up menu, select Show Coverage.
