Method for checking path coverage in software tests

   
   

A method for the graphic presentation of the results of tests of software programs. The software program to be tested is composed of module building blocks and the software program can be presented in the form of a run graph. A run log was produced in the test of this software program. A critical precondition of the inventive method is that the software program to be tested can be resolved into individual program modules. The program run can then be simply displayed as a graph in which the individual program modules are connected to one another (by edges) in the run sequence. A test run protocol (trace protocol) is produced when testing the software program, this protocol containing particulars about the test run, i.e. the reactions of the program to be tested to the individual test instances, for example to the software modules (SIB names) that are respectively traversed. This trace protocol is automatically interpreted and the modules and paths that were traversed are then optically marked in the run graph.
