About coverage reports

The coverage report view displays code coverage information generated by the Code Coverage feature.

You can use the Outline view to navigate through the report. Click Root to display a global coverage graph, or click a source code component in the Outline to go to the corresponding line on the Source page. Jump directly to the next or previous uncovered portion of source code by using the Next Uncovered Line or Previous Uncovered Line buttons in the toolbar.

Source page

By default, the Source page of the coverage report displays covered and uncovered lines of code in the following colors:

• Green for covered lines of code,
• Red for uncovered lines of code,
• Orange for partially covered lines of code,
• Blue for justified lines of code,
• Blue with the + icon for justified but covered lines of code, which means that they should not be justified.
• Red with - icon for unreachable code.

You can change these colors in the code coverage report preferences. In the main toolbar, click Window > Preferences > Viewers > Coverage viewer, you can modify the text color for the covered lines, covered lines with justify, justified lines, partially covered lines, and uncovered lines.

For non-covered line of codes that are justified, click on the blue attributes value to see more details about the justification text.

Note: In C source files, the last bracket '}' in a function after a return statement is always displayed as uncovered in the coverage report, even if the function reports 100% coverage.

The Source page provides hypertext navigation throughout the source code:

• Click a plain underlined function call to jump to the definition of the function.
• Click a dashed underlined text to view additional coverage information in a pop-up window.
• Right-click any line of code and select Edit Source to open the source file in the source code editor.
• Some macro calls are preceded with a magnifying glass icon. Click the magnifying glass icon to expand the macro in a pop-up window with the usual coverage color codes.

A test-by-test analysis mode allows you to refine the coverage analysis. In test-by-test mode, an Available tests section in the Outline view allows you to select and combine coverage results for different runs. To enable this mode, select Test-by-Test in the toolbar.

The hit count tool displays the number of times that a selected branch was covered. Hit count is only available when test-by-test analysis is disabled and when the hit count option has been enabled for the selected configuration. To enable the hit count tool, right-click the source page and select Hit Count.

The cross reference tool displays the name of tests that executed a selected branch. Cross reference is only available in test-by-test mode. To enable the hit count tool, right-click the source page and select Cross Reference.
