Coco Test Engine Licensing

In this section we explain when (under what circumstances) Coco's various tools need a floating license, and what use-cases are "free" (do not require a floating license).

  • Running coveragescanner, cocoqmlscanner, coveragebrowser, or cocotestengine does require a Coco floating license.
  • Running a Coco instrumented program (C++, C#, or QML) to generate execution reports does not require a floating license.
  • coveragescannertcl requires a floating license to run, and it is used to execute instrumented TCL programs, so that means running an instrumented TCL program does require a floating license.
  • Test Data Discovery requires an executable that is instrumented by coveragescanner but does not require a license to run it.
  • A target program (or unit test program) does not need to be instrumented by Coco to run in Test or Learn mode.
  • Running unit tests or target programs that use Coco Test Engine macros (in any mode) do not require a Coco floating license.
