TestCocoon

Code Coverage Measurement for C/C++ and C#

TestCocoon is no more maintained and every user are invited to use now Squish Coco.

Squish Coco is available for commercial and non-commercial projects. For commercial user froglogic GmbH provides also a professional support.

Many enhancements come with this new product:
  • Better support of C++0x by handling constant and lambda expressions.
  • CoverageBrowser has now a more intuitive analysis of the test quality of software modifications by providing:
    1. the list of protential regressions which are not validated.
    2. the list of tests which impacts the modification.
    3. the code coverage of the difference.
  • A new browsable HTML report which permits:
    1. to browse though the source code.
    2. compare executions together.
    3. to make a code coverage analysis on the difference of two releases.
  • reading execution comments directly from the .csexe file.
  • …


Squish Coco is compatible with TestCocoon and does not require that you adapt your build environment.

pictures/releasenote.png TestCocoon v1.6
Full installation of TestCocoon.
Changes between TestCocoon v1.5 and v1.6:
Windows installer
  • Bug Fix: On Microsoft® Windows the installer does no more wipe the PATH variable.

  • Bug Fix: On Linux™, profile files for Intel compiler are now installed correctly.
  • Bug Fix: Under some circumstances, functions are places in a wrong name space.
  • Bug Fix: The response file name includes now the PID. This should fix some issues when using a parallel build.
  • Bug Fix: Using more than one response file is now working.
  • Bug Fix: Linker includes instrumentation of libraries specified through a relative path.
  • Bug Fix: For Windows CE: removing windows.h include in the CoverageScanner library.

    • Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN
    • Q_DECLARE_METATYPE
  • Bug Fix: CoverageScanner does not produce any outdated warnings if the .csmes file produced is less than 10 second older as the corresponding object. This is necessary because some build script copy/rename the output just after building and so modify the date of the object files.
CoverageBrowser

  • Bug Fix: Test count was wrongly calculated if inline functions was instrumented.
cmreport
  • New Feature: Exporting the execution report as simple text log.
  • New Feature: Possibility to set the maximum number of executions listed which executes a line of code.
  • Bug Fix: Correction of an EMMA-XML issue: block coverage for the package was always 50%.
cmmerge
  • New Feature: Verbose error reporting.
  • New Feature: Possibility to merge in an existing instrumentation database (command line option -a)
  • Bug Fix: Do not merge execution database with different instrumentations for the same file.
