Contributor - Code coverage

Description

Code coverage is a measure used in software testing. It describes the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_coverage for more information). The idea is to introduce this feature in Scilab 6.

Ideas

There are two main parts for this project:

• Add the instrumentation to Scilab 6
• Generate reports (plain, XML and HTML)

Links

• Scilab C code coverage: http://scan-build.scilab.org/code-coverage-c/

• Java tools: http://cobertura.sourceforge.net/ - http://emma.sourceforge.net/

• Javascript: http://timurstrekalov.github.com/saga/

• Generate HTML report: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php

Current status

DONE : Scilab coverage is available on scilab 6.
