Debug Tool Code Coverage

You can use IBM® Debug Tool to generate, view, and report code coverage observations. The code coverage observations can be generated interactively or in batch mode.

There are five activities that are described here:

1. Setup: Start a code coverage session with Debug Tool.
2. Code coverage observations gathering: Using Debug Tool to generate the code coverage observations.
3. Selection and filtering: Creating a selection and filtering criteria to be used in the creation of a report.
4. Viewing: Viewing code coverage observations interactively.
5. Report creation: Creating a code coverage report that is based on the selection and filtering criteria that are provided.

Batch facilities are provided so that collection of the code coverage data, using selection criteria to create extracted observations, and report creation can be done in unattended mode (batch).
