Code Coverage Tools Can Eliminate Annoying Bugs Before the Customers Ever See the Product

Description:

System Testing, sometimes called Functional Testing, is the process whereby organizations test an application to ensure that it is functionally correct. That is, that it will perform properly when used by the end user. This type of testing may be performed manually, or with the help of scripts. All organizations that develop software perform system testing prior to release. To learn more about Code Coverage Analysis visit: – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Code Coverage Tools Can Eliminate Annoying Bugs
Before the Customers Ever See the ProductAs a
programmer it is frustrating to believe you have
fully tested a program only to see it launch into
the wild and see the bug reports start flying in.
What did you miss? How could you have not seen
the error in your code? Code coverage tools can
help you find the bugs before the product shops.
You can even do code coverage C programming
analysis.What Exactly Do Code Coverage Tools
Do?A code cover tool, or code coverage C
toolbox, is a powerful testing environment. It
allows you to design tests which will run a
variety of tests through your program but with a
unique twist.You probably already throw dozens
of simulated tests at your software looking for
bugs. You may have released Alpha or Beta
versions to testers asking them to run it through
the paces. You still have one problem which
almost guarantees bugs will pop-up. You have no
way of knowing if every single line of code in
the program has been tested.A code coverage tool
monitors your tests and records which lines of
code has been tested. Tested code is highlighted
in one color, where untested code stands out
showing you where bugs may still be
hiding.Using a Full Testing Environment Must
Include Code CoverageThere are many great
testing environments you can purchase, but not
all of them include the line by line analysis of
code coverage C. Your testing software needs to
be able to setup simulated environments, run the
tests, monitor results, and guarantee
completeness of the test.If you cannot verify
every sub-routine you have created has been
tested how will you avoid those unpleasant
support calls? How can you guarantee to your
clients your software will not crash their
system? Your reputation is on the line.

Are Code Coverage Tools Really Important Since
Most Programmers Do Not Use Them?How important
is your client base to you? Is your public
reputation critical to the future success of your
company? Is repeat business part of your
business plan? Think about all the times you
have seen software companies being blasted with
negative press in magazines, by reviewers, and
across social networks. With the fast
proliferation of bad news which happens today
quality control has become even more important.
You cannot afford to have one small routine
sitting off to the side which remains untested
which could wreak havoc.Even if your program is
not intended for mass distribution, imagine the
complaints you will receive from your business
client when they uncover a problem you missed.
Even if you are only writing for your own company
the screams from the department you wrote the
software for will be loud, clear, and spread
through the company like wildfire.The Cost of
Quality is Small Compared to the Cost of
FailureWhile in our minds a tiny sub-routine
which fails is not paramount to the failure of
the entire program end-users have a different
perception. They expect flawless programs. You
can deliver completely tested and flawless code
only when you implement a quality program which
uses code coverage tools. Using a code coverage
C environment is the only sure method to make
sure every single line of code has been
thoroughly tested.
