Abstract:
In a computing system having a capability for component-based visual programming, computer readable code readable by said system for presenting test coverage metrics, comprising:a subprocess for providing one or more component-based, visually-constructed programs, wherein each of said visually-constructed programs comprises a plurality of components, one or more connections between selected ones of said components, and zero or more of: (1) events to be signaled by components; (2) actions to be performed by components; and (3) attributes of components;a subprocess for constructing a visual view of a selected one of said visually-constructed programs, wherein said visual view is substantially similar to a programming visual view used when constructing said selected visually-constructed program:a subprocess for displaying graphical representations of said components and said connections on said visual view; andsubprocess for augmenting said constructed visual view to visually indicate a test coverage status for selected ones of said connections.
