Yes, I wrote that.

No--this is simple code coverage and *does not* show that all possible
paths have been exercised.  That is a *big* problem, one that is well
beyond any current dynamic technology.  You need static analysis in
order to do this.

...but from recent comments, the 2103 isn't fully simulated...  I'm not
sure device simulation is a good place to spend your software tokens.
