Review Code Profiling Results
Review code coverage, execution time or memory use metrics
After test execution with code profiling enabled, you can review code profiling results in the Polyspace Platform user interface. The results consist of one of these metrics:
Code coverage — How much of your code is covered by existing tests.
Code execution time — The time each function takes to execute.
Memory use — Stack memory used by each function.
Code sanitizer results – Run-time errors during test execution.
For instance, if you computed code coverage with respect to existing tests, you can see a summary of coverage results on a dashboard or drill down to coverage of files, functions, decisions, and conditions in a list view. You can justify missing coverage manually or use other mechanisms such as coverage filters or unreachable code information.
