Abstract -
Coverage is a measure used in software testing. It decides the percentage in which the source code of a program has been tested. Today so many code coverage tools are available to check how much code is being tested. Some tools have their own advantages and limitations. In this paper, we propose to give a survey in such a way that which tool is giving effective results when compared with other tools in consideration of all scenarios. We also explain how to catch, analyze and testing the code of java programs. The major part of this survey examines the most commonly used coverage based testing tools. We also survey over-and-above features which are affiliated with code coverage based testing tools. Such features accomplish tools more advantageous and experimental, particularly for large-scale, real-life popular software applications. This study make-believe each tool has its individual features attached to its application domains. Therefore, this study can be used to select the right coverage testing tools based on various requirements.
