Viewing code coverage results

In the QNX Code Coverage perspective, the Code Coverage Sessions view shows the coverage data for individual runs of projects (i.e., sessions).

After launching a coverage-enabled project, you can switch to this perspective if necessary by clicking its icon () in the toolbar at the top. The Code Coverage Sessions view, which is shown in the upper left corner by default, lets you interact with any newly launched (and active) sessions as well as any that have finished. To show the coverage data for a session, simply click its header in the view. The IDE computes the coverage percentages and displays them for the session items:

In each session, the coverage data is presented in a hierarchical tree with the following items:

Item	Description	Icons
Session	Launch configuration name, coverage tool, and start time (e.g., ccov102_factor [GCC Code Coverage] (7/2/03 2:48 PM))
Project	Project name and amount of coverage (e.g., ccov102_factor [ 86.67% ])
File	Filename and amount of coverage (e.g., ccov102_factor.c [ 86.67% ])
Function	Function name and amount of coverage (e.g., main [ 100% ])

For each item, its icon is combined with another icon that indicates the code coverage:

Icon	Color	Meaning
	White	No coverage
	Yellow	Partial coverage
	Green	Full (100%) coverage
	(cell is highlighted)	Out-of-date source file
	Red	Code not executed, or a marker indicating some error (e.g., a code coverage data file wasn't found or couldn't be read).

Code coverage summary in Properties view

The Properties view, which is displayed in the lower left corner by default, shows a summary of the code coverage for the session, project, file, or function selected in the Code Coverage Sessions view. The summary tells you how many lines were fully covered, not covered, partially covered, and more:

Viewing coverage for source code

To view the code coverage within a certain file or function:

Expand a session and double-click a file or function.

The source file is opened in the editor to the appropriate function if you selected a function, or at the top of the file if you selected the file itself. Code coverage markers are added in the margins, as explained below in Examining coverage data line by line.

Showing coverage data when opening a file

To automatically show coverage data when opening a file in the editor:

Select Window > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog.
In the left pane, select QNX > Code Coverage.
In the right pane, check the desired markers in the Coverage markup when file is opened field.
Click OK.

The next time you open a file, the coverage markers appear automatically.

Removing coverage markers

To remove all coverage markers:

In the Code Coverage Sessions view's title bar, click the Remove All Coverage Markers button ().
