Code Coverage
The µVision3 debugger provides a code coverage function that marks the code that has been executed. Code coverage helps to ensure you have thoroughly tested your application and helps you tune your testing strategy. You can use this feature to determine the sections of code that have not yet been exercised.

The Code Coverage dialog provides information and statistics. You can output this information in the Output Window – Command page using the COVERAGE debug command.
In the debug window, lines of code that have been executed are marked as follows in the left column:
No Code - Lines with no code are marked with a light gray block.
Unexecuted Code - Unexecuted lines (instructions) are marked with a dark gray block.
Executed Code - Fully-executed lines (instructions) are marked with a green block.
Branch Condition True - A cyan (blue) block indicates that the condition for this branch instruction has only been true and the branch was always taken.
Branch Condition False - An orange block indicates that the condition for this branch instruction has never been true and the branch was never taken.
Note
- A green block on a branch instruction indicates that both the true and false conditions have occurred.
