System, computer program, and method for a static code coverage analyzer for computer programs

1. A method for analyzing a computer program comprising the steps of:

generating a work file, the work file including at least one test instance comprising: subroutine, branch and file instances and being associated with the computer program;

counting a total number of each test instance in the computer program; and

creating a test case corresponding to each instance.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

inserting a test case header to a record in the work file, the test case header including a unique test case number and a test case classification.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising the step of:

inserting a plurality of instructions to the test case header based on the test case classification.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

creating a test case for a subroutine instance.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

generating a warning message corresponding to a test case having a conditional instruction without an associated branch.

6. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions which when executed by a computer system causes the computer system to perform:

generating a work file, the work file including at least one test instance comprising: subroutine, branch and file instances and being associated with a program under test;

counting a total number of each test instance in the program under test; and

creating a test case corresponding to each instance.

7. The computer readable medium according to claim 6 , further having stored thereon sequences of instructions which cause the computer system to perform:

inserting a test case header to a record in the work file, the test case header including a unique test case number and a test case classification.

8. The computer readable medium according to claim 7 , further having stored thereon sequences of instructions which cause the computer system to perform:

inserting a plurality of instructions to the test case header based on the test case classification.

9. The computer readable medium according to claim 6 , further having stored thereon sequences of instructions which cause the computer system to perform:

creating a test case for a subroutine instance.

10. The computer readable medium according to claim 6 , further having stored thereon sequences of instructions which cause the computer system to perform:

generating a warning message corresponding to a test case having a conditional instruction without an associated branch.

11. A system for analyzing a computer program comprising:

an analysis module constructed to generate a work file, the work file including at least one test instance comprising: subroutine, branch and file instances and being associated with the computer program;

to count a total number of each test instance in the computer program; and

to create a test case corresponding to each instance.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the analysis module is further constructed to insert a test case header to a record in the work file, the test case header including a unique test case number and a test case classification.

13. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the analysis module is further constructed to insert a plurality of instructions to the test case header based on the test case classification.

14. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the analysis module is further constructed to create a test case for a subroutine instance.

15. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the analysis module is further constructed to generate a warning message corresponding to a test case having a conditional instruction without an associated branch.
