Abstract
In testing a system, coverage of the testing is obtained by maintaining a store of information that is populated as the testing progresses. The store maintains information about the ranges of system variables that are employed during the testing. At the conclusion of the testing, the coverage of the testing is reported out, to permit the designer to assess whether other queries ought to be formulated, or whether portions of the system are superfluous. The testing can employ simulations, formal verifications, or some other techniques.
