SUMMARY

TCAT/Java for UNIX is a branch, method, and method-pair coverage analyzer for applets written in the Java language.

TCAT/Java for UNIX works by instrumenting a Java application to permit collecting dynamic coverage information. TCAT/Java for UNIX reports the coverage as a percentage of possible branches exercised (C1) and as a percentage of possible method-pairs exercised (S1). (A method-pair is a method-to-method connection). The TCAT/Java for UNIX package includes the instrumenter engine, the runtime unit, and graphics oriented analyzers for call-pair and branch coverage, for detailed analysis of the calling-structure of your Java applet, and complete directed graph (digraph) analysis of each function present in the Java source code.

In addition, TCAT/Java for UNIX permits browsing through your Java applet code from the call-tree, from the digraph, and from the coverage analyzer sections.

Summary of Graphical Features of TCAT/Java for UNIX. (BACK TO TOP)

The TCAT/Java for UNIX system includes powerful and sophisticated visualization software to help users:

These features are implemented in three primary graphical views you can use: one for call-trees (method invocation trees), one for the structure of individual functions (methods), and one that shows coverage values reflected relative to the current test and all prior tests for all Java files and functions (methods) in your build.
