Using Code coverage with Code Debug TSO

This section describes how to use Code Coverage with Code Debug TSO, including basic setup and specific Code Coverage related options. This topic also provides a detailed explanation about how Code Coverage data is collected.

Installation requirements

Before Code Coverage can be used under Code Debug, the following steps must be performed by the Code Debug TSO installer:     
1. Ensure that the PARMLIB options are configured correctly for the following keywords:
    BASIC_CODE_COVERAGE_SUPPORT
    IMS_CODE_COVERAGE_SUPPORT
These values must be committed to the Code Debug TSO Tables dataset using the XPLIBDEF INSTALL option.  For information regarding this for a new installation of Code Debug TSO, refer to Task 4.4.1 in the Code Debug TSO Installation and Configuration Guide.  For an upgrade to a previous install of Code Debug TSO, refer to Task 5.4.2 in that same guide.
   
2. Ensure the CCNODE() parameter in the XPLIBDEF CLIST is properly configured. For information on how to set the CCNODE() parameter, refer to the instructions within that CLIST.

Collecting Code Coverage data

Code Coverage data is collected by Code Debug TSO. The results of verbs and branches tested will be written to a Code Coverage Repository.
