Execution Agent Reference Manual
CoverageMeter Execution Agent is a simple graphical interface dedicated to manual tests.
The Execution Agent function is to copy the last execution report generated by an application
to a new execution report and to enhance it with a title and an execution status.
It does not require the instrumentation database (.csmes file) and so can be used for black box testing. The menu entry "Configuration" permits to configure the Execution Agent(see screen shot 20).
It consists only of specifying the path of 2 files:
-
Execution Report Input
-
Path of the execution report (
.csexe file) generated by the application currently tested.
- Execution Report Output
-
Output file name on which a new execution report (
.csexe file) will be saved. This file will not be deleted by the Execution Agent and all new executions will be appended.

Once started and configured, the Execution Agent (identified with the icon
 ) behaves like a daemon and reacts on each
modification of the execution report file selected as input: the dialog 21 is automatically opened1
and permits to save the last execution
report into the output file with an appropriate title and status (passed or failed).
This behaviour permits to comment interactive tests as follows:
-
Start the application to test which is compiled with CoverageScanner.
On exits, it generates an execution report.
- Once generated, the Execution Agent asks for test title and its status.

Only the last execution report generated will be processed.
If more than one are generated, the first reports are lost.
