- The Preprocessor ctc Measuring code coverage or timing of a program takes place with an instrumented version of the program. The instrumentation is done with the preprocessor ctc.
- The Build Launcher ctclaunchIn productive use, the instrumenting tool ctc is usually not used directly, but has to integrate with an existing build process. ctclaunch is the recommended tool to be used for that purpose. The alternative tool is ctcwrap.
- The Build Wrapper ctcwrap In productive use, the instrumenting tool ctc is often not used directly, but has to integrate with an existing build process. ctcwrap is one tool that can be used for that purpose. On Windows and Linux, ctclaunch is recommended first.
- The Report Generator ctcreport With ctcreport, coverage reports in structured HTML format or in a single-file text format are generated from symbol and data files.
- The Postprocessor ctcpost The tool ctcpost can be used for combining and analyzing symbol and data files.
- The Data File Converter ctc2datIf HOTA is used, the coverage data is written in textualized form, usually to a text file MON.txt. With ctc2dat, this input is converted to the standard data file format ("MON.dat").
- The BITCOV Initiator ctc2staticExecuted as a hook script during instrumentation, ctc2static initializes the BITCOV setup without a runtime library and (typically) bits as counters.
- The Memory Calculator any2memThe auxiliary tool any2mem calculates the required size of the CTC_array used for BITCOV.
- The Memory Dump Converter dmp2txtThe tool dmp2txt converts the dumped BITCOV array to HOTA toolchain’s MON.txt format.

Testwell CTC++ consists of several independent command-line based tools. Their purpose and usage is described in details here.

The Preprocessor ctc
Measuring code coverage or timing of a program takes place with an instrumented version of the program. The instrumentation is done with the preprocessor ctc.
The Build Launcher ctclaunch
In productive use, the instrumenting tool ctc is usually not used directly, but has to integrate with an existing build process. ctclaunch is the recommended tool to be used for that purpose. The alternative tool is ctcwrap.
The Build Wrapper ctcwrap
In productive use, the instrumenting tool ctc is often not used directly, but has to integrate with an existing build process. ctcwrap is one tool that can be used for that purpose. On Windows and Linux, ctclaunch is recommended first.
The Report Generator ctcreport
With ctcreport, coverage reports in structured HTML format or in a single-file text format are generated from symbol and data files.
The Postprocessor ctcpost
The tool ctcpost can be used for combining and analyzing symbol and data files.
The Data File Converter ctc2dat
If HOTA is used, the coverage data is written in textualized form, usually to a text file MON.txt. With ctc2dat, this input is converted to the standard data file format ("MON.dat").
The BITCOV Initiator ctc2static
Executed as a hook script during instrumentation, ctc2static initializes the BITCOV setup without a runtime library and (typically) bits as counters.
The Memory Calculator any2mem
The auxiliary tool any2mem calculates the required size of the CTC_array used for BITCOV.
The Memory Dump Converter dmp2txt
The tool dmp2txt converts the dumped BITCOV array to HOTA toolchain’s MON.txt format.
