BMC AMI DevX Workbench Code Coverage

Overview

BMC AMI DevX Workbench Code Coverage is an advanced analysis tool that helps developers easily identify how much of an application has been executed during testing. It captures code execution statistics and works seamlessly with the DevX Code Debug extension.

While debugging, Code Coverage tracks which parts of the code have been exercised and highlights the sections that remain untested. The results are then displayed and analyzed by creating reports which details testing efficiency and risk metrics for mainframe COBOL, PL/I, and High-Level Assembler programs.

Users can use DevX Code Coverage with Code Debug TSO as a part of first release.
