Abstract
Apparatus and method are described for fast code coverage analysis. The present invention for fast code coverage analysis utilizes a technique that provides for capturing an event every first time that a block of code is visited. This allows for generating an event only once during numerous executions of a code block. The generation of only one event provides for an execution time close to the speed of the original source code.
