- Testing with HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE
  Read these topics to learn how to use the product.
- Testing with Studio
  - HCL OneTest™ Embedded Studio overview
    HCL OneTest™ Embedded Studio is the classic user interface that supports C, C++, Ada test and analysis tools.
  - Analyzing static source code
  - Analyzing running applications
    - Runtime analysis overview
    - Profiling shared libraries
    - Code coverage
      - Code coverage overview
        Source code coverage consists of identifying which portions of a program are executed or not during a given test case. Source code coverage is recognized as one of the most effective ways of assessing the efficiency of the test cases applied to a software application.

Cleaning code coverage report files

Code Coverage for C and C++

Code Coverage produces reports on each execution of the application under test. After many executions, the .tio coverage report files can become quite large and take up a lot of disk space.

You can use the -CLEAN option with the attolcov command to remove unused and obsolete traces and to regain some space without losing your execution history.

You can use the -MERGETESTS command line option to merge all the specified .tio coverage report files together.

To clean the .tio coverage report files:

Run the following command line:

attolcov <oldfiles.tio> -clean=<newfile.tio> -mergetests

where <oldfiles.tio> is a list of old .tio coverage report files and <newfile.tio> is the new .tio coverage report file.
