It’s been a super busy time at work for me, but I’ve found enough spare cycles to put together a working branch coverage feature. It’s pretty cool: instead of toting up the number of lines that were executed (and highlighting lines that didn’t run in the source view), it counts “branches” that were executed: every conditional that affects program flow is tracked to count whether it has evaluated false or true, and how many times. In other words, if (a == 1) {…} else {…} counts as two different branches, one for the if clause and one for the else clause. Even better, if (a == 1) {…} also counts as two branches: you will be able to tell if the if clause ever got skipped because a was equal to 1. Try doing that with line coverage! [Continued…]
