Possible to combine code coverage results (VC++)

Question

I am using VC++ 2005 and 2008 on a project. Now I want to see if the unit test cases cover all the code, and a found a problem. We use Boost.Test for unit testing, and each file is designed to test a particular function or method. Each file is compiled into a separate executable.

I am able to view the results per executable in Visual Studio. What I am really interested in is to view the overall code coverage by all the tests combined. Is there a way to combine the code coverage results?

Answer 1

I don't know about Visual Studio's test coverage tools.

The SD C++ Test Coverage Tool will combine test coverage vectors from a single instrumented set of source code, no matter how many times you compile/link it (as long as you don't change the source of the code being tested). This tool can be obtained for the Visual Studio dialect(s) of C++. SD's test coverage tools for other languages have this same property.
