Task Overview
In this step, you run the Code Cover Utility (codecov), making available as input:

The source files you compiled, as described in Section 3, Building the Application

The SPI file you created, as described in Section 3, Building the Application

The DPI file you created, as described in Section 5, Converting Raw Data Files to

The Code Coverage Tool generates the code coverage report in a set of HTML files
you can view with any standard browser. The report includes color-coded, annotated,
source code listings that distinguish among various kinds of covered and uncovered
code. Command options let you specify which colors are used for which purposes. For
a full discussion of the report, see Section 7, Interpreting the Code Coverage Report.
