Effective Code Coverage

                       Paul Johnson - paul@pjcj.net


The culture of testing is now well established within the Perl community
as a whole.  It has a similar status within a number of other development
communities, or at least it is moving in that direction.  Code coverage
has become well established as an important testing tool.

I'll provide a brief introduction to code coverage and then focus on how
to effectively use the Perl code coverage tool, Devel::Cover.

Topics to be covered include:

 * Coverage criteria
 * Integrating coverage into your development flow
 * Dealing with code that cannot be covered
 * Selecting files to cover
 * Covering XS and C code
 * Coverage reports
