Abstract

The previous published paper on the topic of CodeCover highlights the strengths of CodeCover and discusses the versatility of the tool for various coverage testing needs. In this paper we are highlighting a portion of work done as part of a study project. This paper talks about the minimal efforts needed to tweak the product for specific needs. The existing, well structured code base of CodeCover can be reused as a library for implementing the work to be carried out. The impact to the lower layer of the product is minimal and at times nil for implementing the intended task because of the well laid design. In this paper we talk about how the CodeCover can be used to prioritize the test cases for uncovered branches of the code under test for a given session of testing.
