Abstract -
Code coverage is used to describe the degree to which the source code of a program is tested. There are many code coverage testing tools available, working on different criteria providing different features. Here we have studied five code coverage tools and out of which one tool was actually evaluated for their proposed features. A comparative study is presented on the basis of the set criteria.
