Introduction
Test coverage analysis is a powerful method that increases confidence in product quality by assuring that tests cover all of the structural parts of a program or component. A main value in the test coverage analysis process is identifying parts of source text that were never touched by any test. Feedback from the coverage reports to the source code makes it easier to expand test sets to cover untested passages. The TCAT C/C++ and TCAT/Java products provide this feature -- among many other important and powerful options -- in a very convenient and user friendly way.

Product Description
Both TCAT C/C++ and TCAT/Java use source-language instrumentation with very efficient instrumentation templates. Combined with the supplied runtime component the instrumentation process is quick, efficient, and trouble free. Coverage reporting is available on a dynamically expandable "drill down" basis so you can see what you need to see when you need to see it, and not be bothered with overly complicated coverage reports.
