Hello, for regression tests I wonder if it is possible to use Devel::Cover to check coverage for modified lines *only*.
Checking the entire code every time after a change causes a slowdown that is difficult to handle in our projects. More, the required information needs to be extracted out of the complete analysis result. But knowing about test coverage of the lines in question would be a great help. This would allow to instrument the code as required, running the full test suite, running cover and get informed if the changed code ran completely. So, is there a way to switch coverage on and off at runtime, let's say like profiling with Devel::NYTProf can be switched on and of via DB::enable_profile() and DB::disable_profile() and can be controled by the setting of the option start=no? (See http://search.cpan.org/dist/Devel-NYTProf/lib/Devel/NYTProf.pm#RUN-TIME_CONTROL_OF_PROFILING) Thank you in advance for any hints Jochen
