Abstract

A coverage analysis tool may determine coverage in respect to heterogeneous coverage tasks associated with different hierarchy levels of a tasks hierarchy. The coverage analysis tool may iteratively refine coverage tasks to determine coverage of sub-tasks. In some cases, coverage tasks may be unrefined in order to reduce overhead of coverage analysis in performance of the software under test, such that the software under test may perform in an essentially similar manner as in non-testing mode.
