Using Code Coverage Tools in the Linux Kernel

Overview Defining software reliability is hard enough, let alone ensuring it. However, most all software developers agree on the importance of testing. The often unspoken assumption with testing is that the test programs cover a majority of the source code written. The GNU development tool gcov allows developers to obtain coverage results for programs compiled with the GNU gcc compiler. In this paper, people learn how to instrument the Linux kernel to generate code coverage data, and how to visualize results with tools from the Linux Test Project (LTP).
