Trucov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trucov is an open source code coverage analysis tool for GCC versions 4.0 and later[1] that aims to be a gcov replacement. Trucov improves upon gcov by providing more granular and machine readable output, such as DOT Files representing control-flow graph of the program. The use of DOT Files allows for other common tools like GraphViz to be used to produce coverage graphs. Trucov was developed as a senior design project[2] at Washington State University.

Features

[edit]
  • Produces coverage analysis on a per source, per function, and per branch level
  • Provides both textual and graphical coverage reports that are easier to use and understand
  • Automatically finds all the source files inside of a project
  • Detects how many times a particular block or branch of code has been executed
  • Generates the control-flow graph of each function per source file
  • Optionally hides coverage information of external libraries to better focus on the product under test
  • Allows user to narrow the scope of coverage information by specifying specific functions or files
