Most programmers run functional tests when debugging their programs rather than unit tests.
This is not sufficient for catching bugs. Unit testing is more efficient because each unit or section of the code is tested as soon as it is written before the programmer continues coding. VisualTestCoverage is a technology for determining testing adequacy for programs written in VisualAge for Smalltalk, Generator, and Java. When the programmer is testing a VisualAge application, the tool counts how many connections, events, methods of the program were executed, and displays this information in a view that resembles the VA compsotion editor. It provides feedback to the developer about whether he has done enough testing on each class.
