Exporting code coverage results in CCZip format

CCZip is a compressed format that includes source and supports the merging of results. The exported results in CCZip format can be used to share with other people or for historical purposes.

1. In the Code Coverage Results view, select the result that you want to export, right-click and select Export.
   The Coverage Result Export window opens. When you select multiple results, the results are merged and then exported as a single result.
2. From the Export Format drop-down list, select CCZip.
3. Specify a result location:
   • To export to a local directory, select Local from the Connection list. In the Location field, type the file path or use Browse to select one.
   • To export to a CCS URL, select *CCS from the Connection list. In the URL field, enter a valid URL that contains both the host name and the port number: http://host_name:port_number.
   • To export to a remote location, select an existing remote location from the Connection list or use New to create one. In the Location field, type the remote directory or use Browse to select a directory from the remote location.
   The Coverage Result Export window will remember the destination that you specify after you complete exporting.

   Note: The CCS server must be running before you add a CCS URL. For more information about how to start CCS with headless code coverage, see Starting and stopping the headless code coverage daemon.
4. Enter the result file name or use the default name.
   Note: Specify the name of the result file, or leave the field blank to stay with the default name. The file name cannot contain special characters. In addition, avoid using the forward slash (/).

   The file extension will be automatically added based on the format that you select for exporting the results.
5. Specify an Executable Line Filter and select whether the filter is a regular expression. Specifying a filter generates a report that includes only executable lines that match the given string filter. This filter does not apply to files, flow point, and module names.
6. Optional: Select the Add Location to Code Coverage Results View check box to add the export directory as a result location to the Code Coverage Results view.
7. Click Finish to export the results.

   If the selected results contain files that have the same name but different content, the merged result report might be inaccurate. A warning message is displayed for you to confirm merging the results or cancel the request.
