JCover Code Coverage: important to understand!Why is coverage analysis important? Coverage analysis has the following benefits: * We can determine if our test suite is adequate. A test suite that achieves 65% statement coverage is hardly adequate. We cannot be confident of our product's quality with this much coverage. This figure prompts us to enhance the test suite. * We can identify redundant test cases that are not useful either in increasing code coverage or in finding new bugs. Fine tuning a test suite has immense benefits during regression testing. * We can find out if there are regions of code that cannot be exercised at all, and hence can be cleaned up. We sometimes find that an application has code to support a feature that was discontinued in an earlier release of the product! Although test cases are normally generated from the specification, coverage analysis helps us in identifying areas that require further test focus. | |

A lot of people struggled with notepad and unfriendly command line Java compilers... | |
