LCOV is an extension of GCOV, a GNU tool which provides information
|
|
about what parts of a program are actually executed (i.e. "covered")
|
|
while running a particular test case. The extension consists of
|
|
a set of Perl scripts which build on the textual GCOV output
|
|
to implement the following enhanced functionality:
|
|
|
|
* HTML based output: coverage rates are additionally
|
|
indicated using bar graphs and specific colors.
|
|
|
|
* Support for large projects: overview pages allow quick
|
|
browsing of coverage data by providing three levels of
|
|
detail: directory view, file view and source code view.
|
|
|
|
LCOV was initially designed to support Linux kernel
|
|
coverage measurements, but works as well for coverage
|
|
measurements on standard user space applications.
