Usually release. IIRC their support people did tell me it was something to do with the way VC++ generated object code, but I can’t remember the details.

Single line branches are particularly likely to be missed."... Are you running the tool on a debug or release build? Is it possible your compiler is inlining or optimizing away those sections of code, or in some other fashion reordering them so coverage validator doesn't catch it?

Ps/ Careful about those socks - it might be the thin end of the wedge. ;0) I separate out the presentation and logic using an MVC type approach (using Qt signals and slots), but this doesn’t get around the fact that there is still a lot of code (and potentially bugs) in the presentation layer.

Not only am I wearing odd socks, they're inside out and I'm pretty sure they're my wife's. On the GUI testing front, seperating your code into a Model-View-Presenter pattern and using mocks often helps with those hard-to-reach spots :) Interesting post Andy.

I have only unit tests that cover main invisible part of program. Now it is good temp solution to test GUI part. Good article.Thanks Andy, will check the product.
