Testwell CTC++: Code Coverage Analysis Tool for Embedded Systems

Code coverage analysis is a crucial process for ensuring the reliability and maintainability of software by identifying regions of code not exercised by test cases. As the functionality of smart connected products increases, so does software complexity, necessitating tools like code coverage analyzers to verify test quality and ensure every line of code functions as designed. This analysis helps find unexercised code, establish measured coverage, and identify redundant test cases. It requires access to program source code for instrumentation and often recompiling. There are several code coverage levels: Statement Coverage, Function Coverage, Decision Coverage or Branch Coverage, Condition Coverage, and Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC). Pertech Embedded Solutions offers Verifysoft’s C Testwell TC++, an On-Target Code Coverage for all embedded Targets, supporting C, C++, Java, and C#. Testwell CTC++ was originally developed for Nokia and is used for quantifying Code Coverage on computers and embedded targets, conforming to various Safety Standards for medical, automotive, aerospace, and industrial control. Pertech and Verifysoft provide support to help verify code quality, and you can evaluate the tool on your own source code.
