The Coverage Statistics view for line and method coverage data

The Coverage Statistics view displays, in tabular format, coverage data for each package, class, and method in a profiling resource. Coverage data for each line of code can also be displayed, but only if the data was collected using a profiling set that included the Method and Line Code Coverage profiling type.

To display the Coverage Statistics view, right-click a profiling resource entry in the Profiling Monitor, then select Open With > Coverage Statistics. Data for the resource must have been collected with a profiling set that included either the Method Level Coverage or the Method and Line Code Coverage profiling type.

The data table in the Coverage Statistics view can display the following:

Column	Description
