7 Running the Code Cover Utility
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
DPI Files
The Code Cover Utility 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 8, Interpreting the Code Coverage Report.
