Abstract
There are numerous commercial and public domain coverage tools available with varying capabilities. This paper describes the architecture of a Java coverage tool (AJCT). The goals were to provide maximum flexibility in the types of coverage metrics gathered as well to minimize the intrusive levels of instrumentation. The tool uses an intelligent post execution phase to obtain additional coverage information while reducing the instrumentation. Various specialized coverage metrics are available as options
