What is code coverage?
Code coverage is a software testing metric that determines the number of lines of code that is successfully validated under a test procedure, which in turn, helps in analyzing how comprehensively a software is verified. Developing enterprise-grade software products is the ultimate goal of any software company.
What is a good code coverage?
With that being said it is generally accepted that 80% coverage is a good goal to aim for. Trying to reach a higher coverage might turn out to be costly, while not necessary producing enough benefit. The first time you run your coverage tool you might find that you have a fairly low percentage of coverage.
What is condition coverage in Sonar?
SonarQube describes the “Condition” coverage like this: On each line of code containing some boolean expressions, the condition coverage simply answers the following question: ‘Has each boolean expression been evaluated both to true and false?’ .
What is good code coverage?
How do you increase code coverage?
There are a number of approaches:
- Write More Tests.
- Generate Tests Automatically.
- Remove Dead/Zombie Code.
- Remove Redundant/Cloned Code.
- Write/Execute More Sophisticated Tests.
How do I get 100% code coverage?
2 comments
- One of the steps into achieving the 100% coverage rule is to start with a better design. E.g. many times setter and getters are considered trivial to test and thereby causing people to skip testing them and thus lowering the coverage.
- Agreed, the best way to improve coverage is to write less code.
How is coverage measured?
How to Calculate Test Coverage. Calculating test coverage is actually fairly easy. You can simply take the number of lines that are covered by a test (any kind of test, across your whole testing strategy) and divide by the total number of lines in your application.
