Code coverage is an essential part of testing, it reflects the
completeness of the testing done. Code coverage is instrumental in
providing information about how much of the total code is actually
tested by the test suite. However code coverage does not guaranty the
quality of testing but it reflects the area covered in testing.
Another important point is white box testing and code
coverage(functional) are two separate activities. while the former
determine the probable inputs and output for a function, the later
determine if all lines and branching conditions of the function are
executed, in short all paths have been covered or not. There are quiet a
bunch of tools available for Java applications. But for ColdFusion
applications, till now there is no way to know the code coverage.
This post provides an experimental tool, Rancho, to get code coverage
for any ColdFusion application. Rancho can be used as a ColdFusion
Builder extension or as an application Read more and download Rancho....
