- <title>Introduction</title>
- <p>To ease the use of Cover there is a web based user interface
- to Cover called WebCover. WebCover is designed to be started
- and used via WebTool. It is possible to Cover compile Erlang
- modules and to generate printable Cover and Call analyses via
- the web based user interface.</p>
- </section>
-
- <section>
- <title>Start the Web Based User Interface to Cover</title>
- <p>To start WebCover you can either start WebTool, point a
- browser to the start page of WebTool and start WebCover from
- there, or you can use the <c>start_webtool</c> script to start
- Webtool, WebCover and a browser. See WebTool documentation for
- further information.</p>
- <p>Currently WebCover is only compatible
- with Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator 4.0 and higher.</p>
- </section>

- <title>Navigating WebCover</title>
- <p>From the menu in the lefthand frame you can select the
- <c>Nodes</c>, <c>Compile</c>, <c>Import</c> or <c>Result</c>
- page.</p>
- <p>From the <c>Nodes</c> page you can add remote nodes to
- participate in the coverage analysis. Coverage data from all
- involved nodes will then be merged during analysis.</p>
- <p>From the <c>Compile</c> page you can Cover compile <c>.erl</c>
- or <c>.beam</c> files.</p>
- <p>From the <c>Import</c> page you can import coverage data from
- a previous analysis. Imported data will then be merged with
- the current coverage data. <em>Note</em> that it is only possible to
- import files with the extension <c>.coverdata</c>.</p>
- <p>From the <c>Result</c> page you can analyse, reset or export

some times necessary to use finer grained locking strategies. This will usually also increase the locking overhead and hence there is a tradeoff
