Update to Diffblue Cover's handing of NullPointerExceptions
Diffblue Cover now handles NullPointerExceptions
despite try / catch
blocks.
(Try
blocks contains a set of statements where an exception can occur. A catch
block will be used to handle any exceptions that occur as a result of the try
block. A try
block is always followed by a catch
block and there can be multiple catch
blocks.)
This update means more tests and greater coverage!
