These data are then mapped back to reality +using the B compiler modules. There is also a statement profiling facility +which needs a better backend to be really useful. + +The cover program can be used to generate coverage reports. + +Statement, branch, condition, subroutine, pod and time coverage information is +reported. Statement coverage data should be reasonable, although there may be +some statements which are not reported. Branch and condition coverage data +should be mostly accurate too, although not always what one might initially +expect. Subroutine coverage should be as accurate as statement coverage. Pod +coverage comes from Pod::Coverage. Coverage data for path coverage are not yet +collected. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Devel-Cover/ |
