Hi all,
The database that our php applications are running on is getting a
major clean up. RI will be enforced, normalization and all that good
stuff.
Our QA department have a set of regression plans but I don't know how
complete they are. Neither do they :(
My idea would be to have them run through their plans on an application
and measure the percentage of the code covered. Then we will know where
we are.
This is a QA project, not a development task. I'm not going to be able
to have the developers put unit tests into their code. That's a
different battle.
We use PHP version 4.x.
Anything I have seen appears to be developer focused. I don't mind
doing a "compile" to instument the code, if that is required. Sorry I'm
from a c++ background.
Thanks for any responses,
Paddy

Is there a specific question in there somewhere?

What tool can I use to do this?
I use Dreamweaver 8 for my php apps.

Have a look at Xdebug[1] and see if it's appropriate for
your needs. It does have code coverage functions (which I use, but in
conjunction with unit tests), although you'll need to wrap the code in
xdebug_start_co de_coverage() and xdebug_stop_cod e_coverage() calls, then
do something with xdebug_get_code _coverage() after stopping the code
coverage system.
If you're using Apache to serve PHP web apps, you may be able to do
something with .htaccess files or the server configuration and
use auto_prepend_fi le and auto_append_fil e to capture the required data,
then save it somewhere and analyse it later.

Software Verification have Code Coverage, Performance Profiling and a
Flow Tracer available for PHP. Currently they are not on the website,
but they will be shown on the website within the next week (the site is
getting a redesign, so they won't show until the redesign is available,
which happens next week).
These tools do not require insertion of any code into your application
or the modification of any of your code. Currently the tools require
PHP5, but plans to support PHP4 are in place.
The Coverage and Performance tools both have command line support so
that you can integrate them with regression tests etc. All tools support
HTML and XML export and the Coverage tools supports the notion of
merging different test results to provide a merged result.
And of course, no need to modify your application to use the tools.
If you are interested in these tools but don't want to wait for the
redesign of the site, take a look at Python Coverage Validator, Python
Performance Validator and Python Bug Validator - the PHP versions are
identical except for the fact they work with PHP rather than Python. http://www.softwareverify.com http://www.softwareverify.com/python...tor/index.html http://www.softwareverify.com/python...tor/index.html http://www.softwareverify.com/python...tor/index.html

PHP Coverage Validator will do what you want. Works with PHP 4 and PHP
5. No need to modify your application. Simply launch from PHP Coverage
Validator and the coverage results are calculated. GUI and command line
operation supported so that you can integrate into your regression
tests. http://www.softwareverify.com/phpCov...tor/index.html

Actually, I have a feeling that emacs understands a standard format
for errors, which would make it really easy to implement this by
having the coverage tool print results in that format -- anybody know
where to find the details?
I also wonder if some kind of graphical display might be useful
somehow, having been inspired by this:

Hi I'm developing a program and the client is worried about future
reuse of the code. Say 5, 10, 15 years down the road. This will be a
major factor in selecting the development language. Any comments on
past experience, research articles, comments on the matter would be
much appreciated. I suspect something like C would be the best based
on comments I received from the VB news group.
Thanks for the help in advance

Hello,
We are looking for any testing tool that is capable of checking code
coverage for C,C ++ and Java code. Or at least for C and C++. We want
to know how much (percentage) of our code written on C/C++ is covered
in terms of function calls and line calls. We tried Rational
PureCoverage. It's excellent but has some limitations in our case.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Hi list.
What strategies do you use to ensure correctness of new code?
Specifically, if you've just written 100 new lines of Python code, then:
1) How do you test the new code?
2) How do you ensure that the code will work correctly in the future?

Can anyone confirm that VS2008's code coverage functionality doesnt
extend to working on C++/CLI assemblies, apart from the least useful
type (/clr:safe)? I think I saw that last detail somewhere on the
internet.
