InsECT which stands for Instrumentation Execution Coverage Tool, is a system developed in Java to obtain coverage information for Java programs. InsECT instruments (inserts instructions into) Java class files at the bytecode level with probes to report information about a system at runtime. The goal of InsECT is to provide detailed coverage information about Java programs by taking into full account the object-oriented behavior and language features of Java. Furthermore, as an open-source project, InsECT is designed to be extensible for use in a wide variety of dynamic analyses. InsECT utilizes the Byte Code Engineering Library.
