The ability to combine coverage analysis data sets with measured code coverage from unit, integration, and system testing, provides a single repository for all coverage metrics and greatly simplifies reporting. In addition, the CBA feature includes an import and export capability enabling analysis to be shared across distributed teams and leveraged over the entire application life-cycle.
“Development groups in regulated industries have historically performed manual analysis of small portions of their code base to reach the 100% coverage threshold, using home-grown techniques,” said John Paliotta, Chief Technology Officer, Vector Software. “VectorCAST/CBA allows this analysis work to be integrated with testing activities and greatly reduces the analysis effort.”
