Re: What is Code Coverage

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Code Coverage is a new feature in the latest version of RDi - here's a 
bit from the help text in 9.1.1 -

"Running code coverage provides insight into how well your test cases 
are exercising your IBM i applications by reporting results showing the 
percentage of lines in your code run by a test case as well as line by 
line coverage details. You can runcode coverage for any IBM i 
application that you can debug."

So you set up code coverage, then run a test scenario - you find out 
whether some stuff is never touched, I believe. Can be good to know.
