This module provides code coverage metrics for Perl.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you can't guess by the version number this is an alpha release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Code coverage data are collected using a pluggable runops function which counts
|
||
|
|
how many times each op is executed. These data are then mapped back to reality
|
||
|
|
using the B compiler modules. There is also a statement profiling facility
|
||
|
|
which needs a better backend to be really useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The cover program can be used to generate coverage reports.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Statement, branch, condition, subroutine, pod and time coverage information is
|
||
|
|
reported. Statement coverage data should be reasonable, although there may be
|
||
|
|
some statements which are not reported. Branch and condition coverage data
|
||
|
|
should be mostly accurate too, although not always what one might initially
|
||
|
|
expect. Subroutine coverage should be as accurate as statement coverage. Pod
|
||
|
|
coverage comes from Pod::Coverage. Coverage data for path coverage are not yet
|
||
|
|
collected.
