Scenario

As an application developer, capture the test coverage of your Pega Platform™ application. Test coverage metric can be used to understand if there are enough tests in the application to ensure that all the rules of the application run when a developer or their team performs the test. During the testing session of an application, the test coverage feature provides information about the rules that are covered (hit) and not covered (not hit) in that testing session.

As a simple exercise, run a unit test case of one of the rules of your Pega Platform application to capture the Test coverage metrics of the application.

1. Capture the test coverage by running a test case in a test coverage session.
2. Generate and then analyze the coverage report to see the details of the covered and uncovered rules.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge:

Role	User name	Password
Application Developer	pgpTester	rules123!

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
