+ <title>Stopping the cover tool when tests are completed</title>
+ <p>By default the Cover tool is automatically stopped when the
+ tests are completed. This causes the original (non cover
+ compiled) modules to be loaded back in to the test node. If a
+ process at this point is still running old code of any of the
+ modules that are cover compiled, meaning that it has not done
+ any fully qualified function call after the cover compilation,
+ the process will now be killed. To avoid this it is possible to
+ set the value of the <c>cover_stop</c> option to
+ <c>false</c>. This means that the modules will stay cover
+ compiled, and it is therefore only recommended if the erlang
+ node(s) under test is terminated after the test is completed
+ or if cover can be manually stopped.</p>
+
+ <p>The option can be set by using the <c>-cover_stop</c> flag with
+ <c>ct_run</c>, by adding <c>{cover_stop,true|false}</c> to the
+ Opts argument to <c><seealso
+ marker="ct#run_test-1">ct:run_test/1</seealso></c>, or by adding
+ a <c>cover_stop</c> term in your test specification (see chapter
+ about <seealso
+ marker="run_test_chapter#test_specifications">test
+ specifications</seealso>).</p>

+ The following corrections/changes are done in the
+ cth_surefire hook:</p>
+ <p>
+ <list> <item> Earlier there would always be a
+ 'properties' element under the 'testsuites' element. This
+ would exist even if there were no 'property' element
+ inside it. This has been changed so if there are no
+ 'property' elements to display, then there will not be a
+ 'properties' element either. </item> <item> The XML file
+ will now (unless other is specified) be stored in the top
+ log directory. Earlier, the default directory would be
+ the current working directory for the erlang node, which
+ would mostly, but not always, be the top log directory.
+ </item> <item> The 'hostname' attribute in the
+ 'testsuite' element would earlier never have the correct
+ value. This has been corrected. </item> <item> The
+ 'errors' attribute in the 'testsuite' element would
+ earlier display the number of failed testcases. This has
+ been changed and will now always have the value 0, while
+ the 'failures' attribute will show the number of failed
+ testcases. </item> <item> A new attribute 'skipped' is
+ added to the 'testsuite' element. This will display the
+ number of skipped testcases. These would earlier be
+ included in the number of failed test cases. </item>
+ <item> The total number of tests displayed by the 'tests'
+ attribute in the 'testsuite' element would earlier
+ include init/end_per_suite and init/end_per_group. This
+ is no longer the case. The 'tests' attribute will now
+ only count "real" test cases. </item> <item> Earlier,
+ auto skipped test cases would have no value in the 'log'
+ attribute. This is now corrected. </item> <item> A new
+ attributes 'log' is added to the 'testsuite' element.
+ </item> <item> A new option named 'url_base' is added for
+ this hook. If this option is used, a new attribute named
+ 'url' will be added to the 'testcase' and 'testsuite'
+ elements. </item> </list></p>
