Software Coverage Verification Tool
SURESOFT COVER 4
Quantify coverage for C/C++, Java, and C# source code from Function, Statement, and Branch up to MC/DC in real time. Maintain 100% of your existing build pipeline while achieving full compliance for ISO 26262, DAPA, and DO-178C.
SURESOFT COVER 4 Detailed Technical Guide
Explore product architecture, 10 coverage formulas, compiler wrappers, and safety standard mapping tables
COVER Enterprise (Central Monitoring)
Connects multiple build machines and agents to a central server, managing enterprise-wide project coverage in real time.
- Central Web Dashboard: Real-time server status, file explorer, treemaps, and trend graphs
- Automated Report Scheduling: Daily, weekly, or monthly PDF, Excel, Word, and PPT export
- REST Open API: Secure HTTPS/TLS integration for CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI)
- Access & Security Control: Role-based permissions and user group policies
COVER Standalone (Local Developer Analysis)
Runs independently on developer PCs or embedded debugger setups for rapid coverage measurement, exporting results to .csd files.
- Lightweight & Fast Setup: Minimal resource usage and instant execution
- Embedded Debugger Integration: Trace32, UDE, and iSystem support
- .csd Data Sharing: Export coverage metrics to CT or COVER Enterprise
- Target Memory Optimization: Selective instrumentation for target microcontrollers
MSA & Java Agent Monitoring
Uses cover-javalib-agent.jar in microservice architectures (MSA) to capture real-time coverage from active JVM instances.
- Real-time JVM Inspection: Track hostnames, IPs, and loaded classes live
- Zero Server Downtime: Non-intrusive runtime probe collection
- Spring Boot Ready: Full support for Tomcat and Netty web servers
💡 MC/DC (Modified Condition/Decision Coverage) Analysis
MC/DC verifies that every single condition in a boolean expression independently affects the overall decision outcome, ensuring rigorous safety for mission-critical software.
- Mandatory Compliance: Required for ISO 26262 ASIL D, DO-178C Level A, and IEC 61508 SIL 4 certification.
- COVER 4 automatically generates interactive Truth Tables on the web UI to visually highlight uncovered condition pairs.
1. C/C++ Compiler Wrappers (csgcc / csg++)
Replaces native compilers (gcc, g++, ld, ar) with COVER wrapper binaries to automatically inject coverage instrumentation during build time.
# Original MakefileCC = gcc# COVER Instrumentation BuildCC = %CODESCROLL_TM_INSTALL_PATH%\wrapper\csgcc.exe
2. Visual Studio Integration (COVER Toolbox)
Uses the COVER Toolbox assistant inside Visual Studio IDE to enable coverage instrumentation for *.sln and *.vcxproj projects with a single click.
- Visual Studio 2010 through 2022 & C# Roslyn support
- Automatic C# assembly registration via CSharpManager
3. Java Maven & Gradle Plugins
Adds dedicated COVER coverage plugins to Java build pipelines for automated instrumentation during compilation.
# Gradle Commandgradle --init-script jacov-gradle-init.gradle clean build# Maven Commandmvn clean jacov-maven-plugin:setup compile package

Automated Report Scheduler
Generates scheduled PDF, Excel, Word, and PPT reports at daily, weekly, or monthly intervals for audit readiness.
.csd Coverage Data Sync
Interoperates coverage files (.csd) with SURESOFT CT and VPES for centralized enterprise reporting.
