Coverage — LCOV with Several TN: Test Names

Three named test runs in one tracefile, each covering a different part of the tree, reported via the TN: record most tools quietly discard. Keeping the name is what lets a report answer which suite covered a given line.

What is a .lcov file?

LCOV is a plain-text code-coverage tracefile format originally produced by the Linux Test Project's front end for gcov and now emitted by tooling across many languages. Records are grouped per source file between an `SF:` line and an `end_of_record` line, with `DA:` lines giving per-line hit counts, `FN:`/`FNDA:` lines covering functions, `BRDA:` lines covering branches, and `LF`/`LH`, `FNF`/`FNH`, `BRF`/`BRH` summary counters.

How to use this file

Use an example .lcov file to test coverage viewers, merge tools, and CI coverage gates — verifying that summary counters match the detail lines, that multiple source records are merged rather than overwritten, and that branch data survives conversion to Cobertura or JSON.

How to use this file for testing

“Coverage — LCOV with Several TN: Test Names” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Code parsing, Schema validation. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.

Documented properties for this file: seed 61200 · 4 records · LF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Test and coverage reports document their totals (suites, cases, passes, failures, skips, covered lines) in the spec table. Point your CI dashboard, coverage gate, or report converter at the file and assert those counts survive; format twins carry identical numbers so a conversion can be scored exactly.
