generateHTMLReport

Run a suite of tests and collect the code coverage result. Then, generate an interactive code coverage report in HTML format from the result.

In a file named quadraticSolver.m in your current folder, create the quadraticSolver function. The function takes as inputs the coefficients of a quadratic polynomial and returns the roots of that polynomial. If the coefficients are specified as nonnumeric values, the function throws an error.

function r = quadraticSolver(a,b,c)
% quadraticSolver returns solutions to the
% quadratic equation a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0.

if ~isa(a,"numeric") || ~isa(b,"numeric") || ~isa(c,"numeric")
    error("quadraticSolver:InputMustBeNumeric", ...
        "Coefficients must be numeric.")
end

r(1) = (-b + sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);
r(2) = (-b - sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);

end

To test the quadraticSolver function, create the SolverTest class in a file named SolverTest.m in your current folder. Define three Test methods that test the function against real solutions, imaginary solutions, and nonnumeric inputs.

classdef SolverTest < matlab.unittest.TestCase
    methods (Test)
        function realSolution(testCase)
            actSolution = quadraticSolver(1,-3,2);
            expSolution = [2 1];
            testCase.verifyEqual(actSolution,expSolution)
        end
        function imaginarySolution(testCase)
            actSolution = quadraticSolver(1,2,10);
            expSolution = [-1+3i -1-3i];
            testCase.verifyEqual(actSolution,expSolution)
        end
        function nonnumericInput(testCase)
            testCase.verifyError(@()quadraticSolver(1,"-3",2), ...
                "quadraticSolver:InputMustBeNumeric")
        end
    end
end

Import the classes used in this example.

import matlab.unittest.plugins.CodeCoveragePlugin
import matlab.unittest.plugins.codecoverage.CoverageResult

Create a test suite from the SolverTest class.

suite = testsuite("SolverTest");

Create a test runner and customize it using a plugin that provides programmatic access to the code coverage information for the source code in the file quadraticSolver.m.

runner = testrunner("textoutput");
format = CoverageResult;
p = CodeCoveragePlugin.forFile("quadraticSolver.m",Producing=format);
runner.addPlugin(p)

Run the tests. After the test run, the Result property of format holds the coverage result. In this example, all the tests pass and the source code receives full coverage.

runner.run(suite);

Generate an interactive code coverage report from the coverage result in a temporary folder. By default, the main file of the report is index.html.

result = format.Result;
generateHTMLReport(result)

Generate another report whose main file is main.html.

filePath = generateHTMLReport(result,MainFile="main.html");

Open main.html.

open(filePath)
