Plugin for code coverage information for generated C/C++ code equivalence tests

Since R2023a

expand all in page

Description

Add an instance of the matlabtest.coder.plugins.GeneratedCodeCoveragePlugin class to the test runner to collect and access code coverage information for generated C/C++ code in an equivalence test. When the test suite runs, the plugin collects information about the parts of the generated C/C++ code that executed. You can access this information programmatically or in the code coverage report.

The matlabtest.coder.plugins.GeneratedCodeCoveragePlugin class is a handle class.

Creation

Description

example

p = matlabtest.coder.plugins.GeneratedCodeCoveragePlugin creates a plugin that provides access to code coverage information when you run a generated C/C++ code equivalence test.

example

p = matlabtest.coder.plugins.GeneratedCodeCoveragePlugin(___,Name=Value) specifies options using one or more name-value arguments in addition to the input arguments in previous syntaxes.

Input Arguments

expand all

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: MetricLevel="mcdc"

Coverage type to use, specified as "statement", "condition", "decision", or "mcdc". For more information, see Types of Coverage for Generated C/C++ Code in Equivalence Tests.

Example: MetricLevel="mcdc"

Format of the coverage information, specified as one of these objects:

Example: Producing=CoverageResult

This example shows how to collect coverage and generate a report for a generated C/C++ code equivalence test.

The function myMath takes two numeric inputs and an operation string to indicate if the inputs are added or subtracted.

function y = myMath(a,b,operation) %#codegen
if operation == "add"
    y = a+b;
elseif operation == "subtract"
    y = b-a;
else
    y = [];
end
end

The equivalence test tMyMathSIL uses class properties and class-level setup to generate a static library and specifies that the operation argument can be a variable-sized string. The test uses parameterization to execute and verify the generated C code twice, with different inputs each time.

classdef tMyMathSIL < matlabtest.coder.TestCase
    properties
        buildResults;
    end

    methods (TestClassSetup)        
        function generateCode(testCase)           
            operationSize = coder.typeof("add");
            operationSize.StringLength = inf;
            buildInputs = {1,2,operationSize};
            testCase.buildResults = build(testCase,"myMath", ...
                Inputs=buildInputs,Configuration="lib");
        end        
    end

    properties (TestParameter)
        runInputs = {{1,2,"add"},{1,2,"subtract"}};
    end
    
    methods(Test)
        function testSILVsMATLAB(testCase,runInputs)
                executionResults = execute(testCase, ...
                testCase.buildResults,Inputs=runInputs);
            verifyExecutionMatchesMATLAB(testCase,executionResults);
        end        
    end
end

Create a test runner with text output.

runner = matlab.unittest.TestRunner.withTextOutput;

Create an instance of the generated code coverage plugin.

plugin = matlabtest.coder.plugins.GeneratedCodeCoveragePlugin;

Add the plugin to the test runner.

addPlugin(runner,plugin)

Create a test suite from tMyMathSIL.m.

suite = testsuite("tMyMathSIL.m");

Run the test suite with the test runner, which generates the coverage report.

results = run(runner,suite);

This example shows how to collect MC/DC coverage and generate a report with a specified name and file path for a generated C/C++ code equivalence test.

The function myMath takes two numeric inputs and an operation string to indicate if the inputs are added or subtracted.

function y = myMath(a,b,operation) %#codegen

Limitations

  • You can only collect coverage for C/C++ equivalence tests on Windows® and Linux® platforms.

  • You can only collect coverage for equivalence tests that generate C/C++ code for a LIB target.

  • You can only collect coverage in the Cobertura XML format for equivalence tests that generate C code.
