Hi Michael,

Is it now possible get the "probe-flow" out of jacoco

No, probes are simple boolean flags.

If not, do you think it fits into concept?

The instrumentation techniques used by JaCoCo could also be used for a more complex runtime which records every probe execution in its sequence. This will add significant runtime overhead, that's why this is not in scope of the JaCoCo project.

Hi Jakub,



We can get this data from actual stack trace when code was visited in a coverage counters spots (places analyzed by JaCoCo). An extension of the ClassProbeAdapter and changes in org.jacoco.core.internal are needed.



 

I don't think this is the correct place: ClassProbeAdapter is used at the time of instrumentation or analysis. It is not invoked at execution time (only indirectly when using on-the-fly-instrumentation and classes are loaded the first time).

Execution is recorded by bytecode probes inserted by the instrumentation process, please see http://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/flow.html

Hello Marc,



Here is my description of the approach.





Add the option to choose a mode of JaCoCo run. This option could be handled by a system property named e.g. org.jacoco.source.detection.enabled with possible values true or false configured in the maven pom file. Default value should be false and JaCoCo execution will be the same as before.



Identify test calling source code.

Verify new functionality for all analytical methods.





Data storing



Implementation of storing extension in package org.jacoco.data.core. We need to store data about from where was code called. Saving should be fast and duplicities of calls should be ignored.





Display data



Extend actual report with data about source calling (changes in org.jacoco.report package),



Data merge - in the jacoco report we can see coverage from package to code. For a package it would be nice to display all tests. So I would like to show what tests cover each particular package.





 

Best regards
Jakub

Hi Marc, hi Jakub,

recently I started my work on a tool to find dublicate tests in a
large test base. Base idea is to collect execution pathes of all tests
through the system under test. Then in an anlysis phase execution
pathes are compared and dublicates determined (mostly just like Marc
wrote above).

The problem with this: To find dublicates it's not enough to know
which probes have been traversed at all, but you need to know exactly
the exact flow through the probes, i.e. a test doing first A then B is
some different than doing first B then A. A test doing 1 time A is
something different than a test doing 2 times A and so on.

My question: Is it now possible get the "probe-flow" out of jacoco. If
not, do you think it fits into concept?

Regards,
Michael
