coverage metrics

[Sana]

Hi

Would you kindly explain the calculation of branches and activities by the BpelUnit tool. How does the tool measure the branches and activities covered in BPEL process. They are lot more than the actual BPEL activities. A short example would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sana

Hi Sana,

test coverage was developed by Alex. His thesis (German only) with a full description can be found here: http://www.se.uni-hannover.de/pub/File/pdfpapers/Salnikow2007.pdf
If you have IEEE access you can find an English paper here: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5069049&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D5069049

Unfortunately, the current coverage code is not maintained. I'm working on a new version that will come with a new deployment process but I can give no date when it will be done.
