Walk through

Live code coverage quickly point to failure nodes for reproducible cases. To quickly train QA in the effectiveness of EMMA I have written a tool that mimics Russian Roulette. There are size buttons that call six methods one of which is at random chosen to fail.

Here is the walk though on how to find the method that fails via code coverage.

  • Open the qa-helper in one browser window
  • Open the offending tool qa-fails in another browser window
  • Play the game until you have a reproducible case

  • Reset the EMMA session data in the helper tool
  • Reproduce the error in the failure tool
  • Generate a report in the helper tool

  • Review the report and look for the partially run code in yellow
