Working with the Compiled Code Coverage Launch History view

The Compiled Code Coverage Launch History view will automatically open in the current perspective when the code coverage report is generated. It can also be opened by navigating to Window > Show View > Other... and then selecting Code Coverage > Compiled Code Coverage Launch History. The Compiled Code Coverage Launch History view contains the state, name and date for all previous code coverage launches. From this view, you can work with your code coverage launches.

About this task

From the Compiled Code Coverage Launch History view, you can determine whether the launch met the code coverage acceptance criteria; sort the launches by state, name or date; open or generate a code coverage report for a previous launch; or, remove a launch from the workbench.

Determining whether a launch met the code coverage acceptance criteria

About this task

The Compiled Code Coverage Launch History view lists the history of your code coverage launches and displays their state, name and time stamp.

launch history

The state icon shown in the left-most column indicates whether the report meets the coverage thresholds set in the code coverage preferences page. A green check mark indicates that the acceptance criteria were met, an exclamation mark on a red background indicates that one or more of the acceptance thresholds was not met, and the question mark icon conveys that the state is unknown. A state becomes unknown as a result of changing the threshold level without first regenerating code coverage reports for previous launches that were generated prior to the current workbench session (i.e. if you shutdown the IDE and restart it, you must generate the report again before re-setting the threshold criteria if you want the new threshold status to be automatically applied to the previous launch).

For more information, see Setting code coverage acceptance levels.
