Test Coverage in C/C++ Code

• Compile with gcc -pg -g -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage
• Execute program; a file name.bb will be created
• Run gcov -n name.bb
• You will get a report of how many lines were executed
• Numbers less than 100% indicate a lack of coverage

 83.33% of 650 source lines executed in file hilbert.c

• PreviousExample: Testing the Sort Program
• Contents
• NextExample: Test coverage of Perl's source code versus the number of executed test cases
