   • A test case (including the last one) is not terminated by a blank row
   • The keyword “End of Test Sequence” is not found in the Excel sheet

   • Previous analysis was terminated in the middle of execution
     • Delete the analysis folder
   • Compile error
     • Users can check the CompileLog.txt in the <test folder>\Debug folder for the details
   • Invalid entries in build options file
3. Where do I see the instrumented code?
   • It is saved in LDRA work area.
4. The software says test execution is completed, but I cannot find the report in the reports folder.
   This happens when the tool was unable to connect to the target and execute the test.
   • Check whether the target is connected properly
   • Check the target configuration file

In case of unit tests, the tool fails to generate the code coverage report if the test execution was terminated in the middle of execution.

5. Test execution stuck in the middle of execution. What to do? What is the reason?
   • To terminate the test execution, close the pop-up window. Never kill the process through the task manager. To stop executing the subsequent test sequences, click the “Stop” button and wait until the running process is completed. Do not close the TAU window before the process is completed.
   • The reason this happens is because of wrong configuration or wrong selection of functional test.
