System Testing, sometimes called Functional Testing, is the process whereby organizations test an application to ensure that it is functionally correct. That is, that it will perform properly when used by the end user. This type of testing may be performed manually, or with the help of scripts. All organizations that develop software perform system testing prior to release.

Code Coverage Tools Can Eliminate Annoying Bugs Before the

Customers Ever See the Product

As a programmer it is frustrating to believe you have fully tested a

program only to see it launch into the wild and see the bug reports

start flying in. What did you miss? How could you have not seen

the error in your code? Code coverage tools can help you find the

bugs before the product shops. You can even do code coverage C

programming analysis.

What Exactly Do Code Coverage Tools Do?

A code cover tool, or code coverage C toolbox, is a powerful testing environment. It allows you to

design tests which will run a variety of tests through your program but with a unique twist.

You probably already throw dozens of simulated tests at your software looking for bugs. You may have

released Alpha or Beta versions to testers asking them to run it through the paces. You still have one

problem which almost guarantees bugs will pop-up. You have no way of knowing if every single line of

code in the program has been tested.

A code coverage tool monitors your tests and records which lines of code has been tested. Tested code

is highlighted in one color, where untested code stands out showing you where bugs may still be hiding.

Using a Full Testing Environment Must Include Code Coverage

There are many great testing environments you can purchase, but not all of them include the line by line

analysis of code coverage C. Your testing software needs to be able to setup simulated environments,

run the tests, monitor results, and guarantee completeness of the test.

If you cannot verify every sub-routine you have created has been tested how will you avoid those

unpleasant support calls? How can you guarantee to your clients your software will not crash their

system? Your reputation is on the line.

Are Code Coverage Tools Really Important Since Most Programmers Do Not Use Them?

How important is your client base to you? Is your public reputation critical to the future success of your

company? Is repeat business part of your business plan?

Think about all the times you have seen software companies being blasted with negative press in

magazines, by reviewers, and across social networks. With the fast proliferation of bad news which

happens today quality control has become even more important. You cannot afford to have one small

routine sitting off to the side which remains untested which could wreak havoc.

Even if your program is not intended for mass distribution, imagine the complaints

you will receive from your business client when they uncover a problem you

missed. Even if you are only writing for your own company the screams from the

department you wrote the software for will be loud, clear, and spread through the company like

wildfire.

The Cost of Quality is Small Compared to the Cost of Failure

While in our minds a tiny sub-routine which fails is not paramount to the failure of the entire program

end-users have a different perception. They expect flawless programs. You can deliver completely

tested and flawless code only when you implement a quality program which uses

code coverage tools

Using a

code coverage C

environment is the only sure method to make sure every single line of code has

been thoroughly tested.
