Abstract
An apparatus, program product and method collect operational statistics associated with database access by a computer program for use in performing coverage analysis on the program. In particular, coverage analysis may be performed for a computer program that accesses a database by tracking accesses to records in the database by the computer program during coverage analysis, and calculating at least one database coverage statistic based upon the tracked accesses to the records in the database.
Claims32
A method of performing coverage analysis for a computer program that accesses a database, the method comprising:
- (a) tracking accesses to records in the database by the computer program during coverage analysis;
- and
- (b) calculating at least one database coverage statistic based upon the tracked accesses to the records in the database.
An apparatus, comprising:
- (a) a processing unit;
- and
- (b) a program code configured to be executed by the processing unit to perform coverage analysis for a computer program that accesses a database by tracking accesses to records in the database by the computer program during coverage analysis, and calculating at least one database coverage statistic based upon the tracked accesses to the records in the database.
A program product, comprising:
- (a) program code configured to perform coverage analysis for a computer program that accesses a database by tracking accesses to records in the database by the computer program during coverage analysis, and calculating at least one database coverage statistic based upon the tracked accesses to the records in the database;
- and
- (b) a signal bearing medium bearing the program code.
