Format of the file that contains coverage info¶

Coverage is described in XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<coverageInfo> 
  <reqcoverage qid="unique_id_of_requirement_or_test_purpose">
    <covered_by uri="path_to_covering_element" [hits="1"]/>
  </reqcoverage>
  <reqcoverage qid="unique_id_of_requirement_or_test_purpose">
    <covered_by uri="path_to_covering_element"/>
  </reqcoverage>
  <error [name="error_name"] testuri="uri_of_covered_by_element" [uri="link_to_error_description"]>
      [<violates qid="unique_id_of_requirement_or_test_purpose"/>]*
      [<description [format="error_description_format"]>error_description</description>]
  </error>
</coverageInfo>

Here:

Square brackets denote optional parameters.

- coverageInfo - can be only one instance in the file. It contains multiple XML-elements reqcoverage (one or more) and error (can be absent, one or more).

- reqcoverage - child-element for coverageInfo. Should be specified for every covered Requality-element. (Uncovered nodes are not specified at all.) Contains nested XML-elements covered_by (one or more). Every nested covered_by element should match one test procedure or test. reqcoverageelement has attribute qid.
qid - is user-visible-name(element) or qualifying-id(element) of the covered element:

• user-visible-name(element) - is element name (if exists, i.e. if for this element name field in Properties view is not empty),
  otherwise it is specified as user-visible-name(element.parent)/id, i.e. first specify user-visible-name of parent element, then specify element id (use ''/'' as delimeter).
  For example:
  "TR-FMF-01-01-002/TR-FMF-01-01-002_T01"

• qualifying-id(element) - is full path to the element beginning with root node (Requirements), ''/'' is used as a delimeter.
  For example:
  "Requirements/01/MyRequirement01"

- covered_by - child element for reqcoverage. There could be several covered_byelements inside reqcoverage, it depends on how many test rocedures or tests cover corresponding Requality-element. Every covered_by element matches one covering Requality-element. covered_by has attributes: uri and hits.
uri - is attribute of covered_by XML-element, it specifies a path to the test described in this covered_by-element:

• if it is described a coverage of test purposes by test procedures then here uri is a path to test procedure step.
  • If test procedure is situated in the same project thep the path is specified without protocol, for example:
    "/TestProcedures/01/TestStep04"
    Here 01 - test procedure id, 04 - test procedure step number.
  • Если тестовая процедура находится в другом проекте Requality, то путь записывается следующим образом:
    "requality://ProjectName/TestProcedures/01/TestStep04"
    Здесь ProjectName - имя проекта, где находится тестовая процедура.

• если описывается покрытие тестовых ситуаций тестами, то это путь к тесту, например:
  "file:///home/user/work/test1.c#12"
