  1. Hello, I wanted to know if there is any way to combine functional coverage reports from separate executions together.
    Thanks!

    1. Hi Shobhit,

      Yes, it is possible to merge multiple runs into a single coverage database. For that, you need to use the merge.py script found under https://github.com/amiq-consulting/fc4sc/tree/master/tools/coverage_merge

      The script takes 2 arguments:

      1. The location under which all FC4SC generated coverage DB files are (XML format)
      2. the name of the merged output file

      Example:

      $> python merge.py /path/to/top/directory merged_coverage_db.xml
      

      Best Regards,
      Dragos

  2. Hi Dragos,
    Based on my understanding, FC4SC should be UCIS compliant. If so, can we use VCS URG to generate reports? If it’s possible, do you know how it can be done?

    Thanks,
    Raymond
