CVCOV(1)CVCOV(1)NAMEcvcov - The WorkShop Test Coverage Tool
SYNOPSIScvcov-ver | subcommand ...
DESCRIPTIONcvcov invokes the command line version of the WorkShop Tester dynamic
test coverage tool. cvxcov invokes the GUI version of the same tool.
All functionality is available from either program. Some of the
graphical representations of the data will be available only from cvxcov.
For more information on using cvcov please refer to the
"CASEVision/WorkShop Tester User's Guide."
For installation of cvcov please refer to the "WorkShop Tester Release
Notes."

present.
-keep
Retain all performance data collected in the experiment. By
default, the performance data is not retained, because it is

Do not capture arc information in the runtest experiment. The
arc data can potentially use of large amounts of disk space.
-rmsub
Remove results for individual subtests if this is a test set or
test group. The overall test set or test group data is
