Claim Text:
1. A method for coverage determination of DUT tests, the method comprising: saving a plurality of merged coverage reports, each of which comprises projected individual test coverage reports; obtaining via an input device a selection of a subset of interest of coverage reports included in the plurality of saved merged coverage reports; and using a processing unit: finding a saved merged coverage report of said plurality of saved merged coverage reports that has the smallest number of unwanted coverage reports not included in the subset of interest; and using the found saved merged coverage report to obtain a merged coverage report that corresponds to the subset and merging the merged coverage report that corresponds to the subset with newly gathered coverage reports into a new merged coverage report, wherein the method further comprises calculating a percentage of the subset of interest of the found saved merged coverage and determining whether the percentage is greater than 50 percent, and if the percentage is determined to be greater than 50 percent, subtracting the unwanted coverage reports from the found saved merged coverage report to obtain the merged coverage report that corresponds to the subset.
