Using Basis Branch Analysis; To Store Bba Data To A File - HP 64782 User Manual

Using Basis Branch Analysis

Basis branch analysis (BBA) is provided by the HP Branch Validator product.
This product is used to analyze the testing of your programs, create more
complete test suites, and quantify your level of testing.
The HP Branch Validator records branches executed in a program and
generates reports that provide information about program execution during
testing. It uses a special C preprocessor to add statements that write to a
data array when program branches are taken. After running the program in
the emulator (using test input), you can store the BBA information to a file.
Then, you can generate reports based on the stored information.
This section shows you how to store BBA data to a file. Refer to the
HP Branch Validator (BBA) User's Guide for complete details on the BBA
product and how it works.
