Code Coverage for C/C++

Code coverage analysis to ensure highest software quality

Testwell CTC++: Test Coverage Analyzer for C and C++

 

CTC++ Code Coverage Analyzer for C/C++

 

CTC++ indicates how thoroughly your application has been tested:

Calculates the Test Effectiveness Ratio (in %) for
  • each function
  • each source file
  • the whole program (or chosen parts of it)

CTC++ checks your code for the following coverages:

  • Function Coverage
  • Decision Coverage
  • Condition/Branch Coverage
  • Multicondition Coverage
  • Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC)
CTC++ is suitable for DO-178B certifications (all levels: A, B, C) of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 		CTC++ Test Coverage Analyzer for C/C++

 

Benefits:

  • CTC++ shows you which parts of the code has not yet been tested/has already been tested
    With this information
    • you can write better (more adapted) tests/test cases
    • you avoid that you spend time on writing redundant test cases
    • you know when you can stop testing
    • you can proof to you customers that your code is tested according to their requirements
    • as customer, you can be certain that the code your outsourcing/development partner delivers is conform to your expectations if you ask them to show you the CTC++ reports
    • as developer or project leader you can be sure that there will be no "surprises" after delivery of the project : this point is very important for safety and mission critical software, but can save money also for all other projects
  • CTC++ finds "dead code"
  • CTC++ finds bottlenecks in your program by examination of the run-time behaviour
    • shows you the execution time for each function

CTC++ is simple to use:

  • no code modifications necessary
  • supports existing makefiles
  • GUI integration in several IDEs
    • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
    • Microsoft Visual Studio 5.0/6.0
    • WindRiver Tornado
    • Borland C++ 5.02
    • Metrowerks CodeWarrior

Listings (output) in HTML or text:

  • shows untested code (highlighted)
  • shows how many times each code location visited
  • coverage reporting
    • summary levels for files, functions and overall
    • detailed levels: execution profile listing
    • definable target TER on summary levels

CTC++ is the ideal tool to measure code coverage in embedded systems

  • very low instrumentation overhead
  • works even with very small targets (one of our customers measures code coverage on a micro ship with 4 KB free space!)
  • works with all cross-compilers
  • performs code coverage in all targets
  • the host-target add-on to measure the code coverage in embedded targets is delivered with its source code -> adaptation to new targets is possible in very short time

CTC++ is one of the leading code coverage tools for C/C++ development

  • first version in 1989
  • ongoing development since more than 15 years
  • permanent adaptation to new IDEs and environments

CTC++ is successfully in use in many software development projects:

Industrial leaders, among them many companies from aeronautics, transportation, and medical sectors as well as a lot of software developping projects in small and middle sized companies which wishes to deliver quality software and avoid dangerous and expensive "surprises" after the software release are already using CTC++ : some references
