Patent ID: 8776025

Claim:
A method with a processor of an information processing system, the method comprising: using debug information provided by a compiler, performing a session of operation of a debugger tool on a set of source code for an application program, the debugger tool having a debugger user interface; during the session of operation of the debugger tool, operating a code coverage tool, wherein the code coverage tool determines code coverage for the set of source code by: generating code coverage information by a code coverage collection process operating on the set of source code during the session of operation of the debugger tool, analyzing the code coverage information with respect to the debug information, wherein the code coverage information at least identifies a set of instructions that has been executed during the session of operation of the debugger tool, and identifying, based on the analyzing, source code lines in the set of source code, wherein the source code lines correspond to the set of instructions that has been executed; and executing at least one instruction associated with the set of source code; updating the code coverage information to indicate that the at least one instruction has been executed in a normal process of code coverage collection; and visually displaying, in the debugger user interface, the identified source code lines.
