Abstract

The article is dedicated to the development of code coverage measurement technique and a tool that implements this technique. The techniqueinvolves measurements of three basic code coverage metrics, as well as own metric, which was deduced from analysis ofmeasurementresults of a set of projects. Existing code coverage measurement tools were reviewed in order to identify their strengths and weaknesses, which were taken into account during the development process.
