AQtime automation: how to change profiler settings?

[Cavaler]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use AQtime 8.0 COM interface to run Coverage analysis on a simple test app (for a start).

That's what I am doing on Python:

aqtime = Dispatch("AQtime.AQtime")
intmgr = aqtime.IntegrationManager

intmgr.NewProjectFromModule(sys.argv[1])
intmgr.SelectProfiler("Coverage Profiler")
intmgr.SelectRunMode("Normal")
intmgr.Start("C:\\test.xml", "")

Profiling runs, and results are generated.

But profiling is done by routines only, not by lines. It is changed in GUI easily, but I cannot find a way to change profiler settings automatically.

I assume it could be done using some Managers provided by IaqBaseManager - but there is no documentation on that interface and its derivatives.

Can anyone help me out?

Also, I would greatly appreciate a way to read generated results programmatically.

Theoretically I can parse generated xml - but there must be an easier way

Hi Cavaler,

To profile by lines, use:

intmgr.AreaManager.FullCheck = True
intmgr.AreaManager.FullCheckLevel = 2   # eplLines

See Managing Profiling Areas via COM for more info and examples.

Alternatively, you can create a pre-configured project and use that project instead.
