Code Coverage and IDz Integration

The IBM Debugger have the possibility to generate code coverage information when a program is executed. Functional Test is able to initiate this from a test scenario and it will also collect and analyze the result after the execution of the test scenario. When code coverage is enabled for a test scenario, the result of the execution will contain the resulting code coverage information. This includes the code coverage percentage for each module executed as well as color marking of the lines of code that have been executed.

Functional Test can also initiate a debug session in IDz when you execute a program from the browser. The code coverage option is available in both clients while the debug option is only available in the browser. A debug session can only be initiated in RDz from version 9.5.1 and greater.

The Topaz for Total Test Functional Test server installation document describes how to setup Functional Test to initiate the IBM Debugger and it provides help in setting up IBM Debug and the IBM code coverage daemon.
