Requirements for Instrumenting the AUT

3-3

The following table lists the requirements for instrumenting the AUT using the
source code and object code methods:

You can only instrument a Java application or applet using the object code method.
There are no other specific requirements for instrumenting a Java AUT.

C++ Applications

You can only instrument a C++ application using the object code method. To do
this, you must have the .exe file for the AUT and an associated .pdb file (containing
debug information) located in the same directory.

NOTE: Regardless of how you instrument the AUT, you need access to source
code if you want to view source code coverage details in the Coverage Browser
for a C++ or Visual Basic application after you create scripts. For information
about the Coverage Browser, see Chapter 5, Automatically Generating Scripts.
