CS 4320 Software Testing and QA: Ex9 COVERAGE ANALYZER
======================================================

Platform: UNIX 

Given: source code

Goal: Write an automated test script to improve code coverage.
      In Ex4, you used White Box Test to achieve Path Coverage.
      Given the source code, you designed specific Test Cases.
      In this exercise, you will not use a formal method for
      testing, you will just exercise the software with various
      inputs until a tool tells you that you've touched 90%
      of the lines of code. 

a. Introduction

   Examine the sources to a B-Tree program:
   % more btree.c

   Compile the program to include coverage metrics:
   % gcc -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -o btree btree.c

   Examine an automated test input:
   % more btree.dat
   
   Run the program using the automated test input: 
   % btree btree.dat

   Check the code coverage of the individual functions and the source overall 
   the gcov tool:
   % gcov -f btree.c

b. Exercise 

   Expand btree.dat to use more i(nsert x; d(elete x; p(rint; 
   to increase the code coverage to over 90%
 
   Make one final run to capture printouts:
   % btree btree.dat >btree.out
   % gcov -f btree.c >gcov.out
