I had been thinking about ways to make code coverage information more useful, and had considered something along these lines. I also had thoughts along the lines of all tests not being equal. Generally the earlier a test is run, the more important it is. I also have plans for providing an ordering for tests such that tests which give the greatest increase in coverage are run earlier. But all this is for the future. For me anyway. Here's something I've been working on recently. It's ugly, but that's the level of my artistic competence. It's also inaccurate. That, I'm working on. http://pjcj.sytes.net/cover/cpancover/cpancover.html -- Paul Johnson - paul@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.netThread Previous | Thread Next
