HP DECset for OpenVMS Version 12.8

HP DECset for OpenVMS V12.8 SPD 42.29.18
• Filter test results to ignore output that is expected to
change for each test execution.
The HP Digital Test Manager enables users to store soft-
ware test descriptions and related files in CMS libraries
for storage efficiency.
The HP Digital Test Manager provides an interface
through callable routines, as well as through the
Digital Test Manager command-line interface and the
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha/I64 interface.
The HP Digital Test Manager for OpenVMS Alpha/I64
Systems is a component of the HP DECset for Open-
VMS Alpha/I64 Systems product and is also available
separately. Please refer to the ORDERING INFORMA-
TION section of this SPD.
HP Performance and Coverage Analyzer for OpenVMS
Alpha/I64 Systems
The Performance and Coverage Analyzer (PCA) for
OpenVMS Alpha/I64 Systems helps users pinpoint ex-
ecution bottlenecks in application programs. PCA can
also identify which parts of an application are not exe-
cuted by a given set of test data. PCA has two com-
ponents: the Collector, which gathers performance or
test coverage data on the running user program; and
the Analyzer, which later processes and displays the
collected data. The Analyzer graphically presents in-
formation in four types of charts: histograms, tables,
annotated source listings, and call trees.
PCA does not analyze operating system performance
or aid in hardware resource planning.
PCA can gather and report on the following types of
performance data:
• Call stacks (see OpenVMS I64 release notes)
• CPU sampling data
• Event markers
• PC sampling data
• Page fault data
• System services data
• Input/Output data
• Exact execution counts
• Test coverage data
• Ada tasking data
• Unaligned access fault data
Additional PCA features include the following:
• Traversing commands to sift through performance
data
• Screen mode to display different types of data in sep-
arate windows
• Multiple data kinds allowing the display of different
categories of performance data in the same his-
togram or table
• Acceptable noncoverage indicating portions of code
that are acceptably noncovered to the Analyzer
• Filtering to analyze only a subset of data
PCA works in concert with LSE and the Digital Test Man-
ager. From the character-cell version of PCA, users can
communicate with LSE and can examine source code.
When used with the HP Digital Test Manager, PCA can
evaluate the code coverage of a user’s test system.
PCA provides a command-line interface and the
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha/I64 interface.

HP Code Management System for OpenVMS
Alpha/I64 Systems
The Code Management System (CMS) for OpenVMS
Alpha/I64 Systems provides an efficient method for stor-
ing project files and tracking all changes to those files.
Code management is especially important to projects
that have long life spans or several versions of the soft-
ware.
CMS stores any kind of RMS file, including: documents,
plans, specifications, status reports, source code files,
object files, executable images, sixel files, and other
records, and keeps these files in project libraries. CMS
also stores history information. As a project evolves,
CMS tracks changes to the library by storing only the
changes made to a file. Not only does this reduce the
amount of disk space used for storing multiple versions
of files, but it also allows CMS to reconstruct any previ-
ous version of a file and to identify the changes made
between any two versions. In addition to storing suc-
cessive changes, CMS maintains a record of who is
currently working on a library element and a historical
record of library access.
With CMS, users can:
• Support multiple project libraries.
• Retrieve previous generations (versions).
• Delete generations.
• Obtain a report of file modifications, including when,
why, and by whom the modification was made.
