What is Code Pulse?

The short version: Code Pulse is a code coverage tool that works by watching Java applications run, and showing you what those programs do, when they do it.

The slightly longer version: When you want to know what your Java-based application is doing, Code Pulse runs alongside that program, monitoring the methods it calls. Code Pulse keeps track of which methods were called (code coverage) and displays them to you visually, updating as new methods are called. It's code coverage in real time!
