- Option 1: "Click configure Coverage" and enter only 2 parameters:
- Program to Execute:
CALL PGM(MYLIB/MYPGM) or RUCALLTST TSTPGM(MYLIB/MYPGM_TEST) - One or more Programs or SRVPGM to Analyze:
LIBRARY/PROGRAM_NAME *PGM *ALL, LIBRARY/SRVPGM_NAME *SRVPGM *ALL, LIBRARY/SRVPGM_NAME *SRVPGM MODULE_NAME
- Program to Execute:
- Option 2: Run the coverage directly on your IBM i server and send the result to your user's home folder or your PC.
- Process Coverage File to analyze an existing
.cczipfile located in your user's home folder or your PC.
- Process Coverage File to analyze an existing

- PDF/HTML Reports: Professional reports perfect for documentation
- File Management: Easy handling of existing .cczip coverage files
- Real-time Stats: Live coverage percentages and statistics
"QDEVTOOLS not found": Add QDEVTOOLS to your library list.
"Incorrect Coverage Percentage": Verify that the library list in Code for IBM i is correctly configured and ensure your programs are compiled with *SOURCE or *ALL debug views.
"Marked and unmarked lines in the report are incorrect.": The most likely cause of the problem is the lack of a PTF file. Around January 2026, the QDEVTOOLS.CODECOV command began reporting incorrect code coverage due to a PTF update. To fix this, install the latest PTFs for your IBM i.
"CODECOV command not available": Install the required PTFs for your IBM i version
"No connection to IBM i": Ensure Code for IBM i extension is connected
