ABSTRACT:
A method of testing a computer program in a computer system is described. The computer system includes a source code corresponding to the computer program, and a number of tests. The method includes the following steps. A coverage point is inserted into the source code to correspond to a statement in the source code. An executable, corresponding to the source code, is executed using the tests. This generates a result. The result is used to generate a subset of tests that executed the coverage point and tested the statement. Test a second executable using the subset of tests. The second executable corresponds to the source code.
