Structural code coverage with Code Composer Studio

I try to carry out structural code coverage with Parasoft code composer plugin
I am using Code Composer Studio v8,
My target has Flash memory (KB)=32 , RAM (KB)=12.

Parasoft C/C++ makes static analsys very well (And also Visual studio plugin works very well) but when I try to carry out " Run TI CCS v4+ application with memory monitoring " I have got the following errors;

C/C++test analysis errors in /testtttt
1. Test execution: error linking test executable for Test unit for selected sources.
warning #10247-D: creating output section ".cio" without a SECTIONS

memory ranges:

The code works very well and also I can load the code to the target.
when I examine the map file of the code after debugging without any test cases the .text section is very small but when I try to carry out the test the .text section really increases.I think the errors occurs because of this reason but I do not know how to solve.

This errors occurs similarly when I try to make unit test.

Thanks your attention.

Best regards,

    The instrumented executable's .text section seems to be too large for the entirety of flash (0x9a77 bytes = ~38-39 kilobytes). The easiest way to shrink the size of the instrumented executable's text section is to disable memory monitoring in the test configuration you ran (you will need to duplicate it and then you'll be allowed to modify it). It is under the Execution Tab -> Instrumentation Mode -> Press Edit Button.

    Disabling memory monitoring will not affect structural coverage.
