What is Code Coverage?
Code coverage is a metric that measures how much of your source code is executed during testing. It helps identify untested areas and improves overall test effectiveness. 🧑💻🔍
Why Use Code Coverage?
✔️ Measures test efficiency 📊
✔️ Identifies untested code ❌
✔️ Provides a quantitative analysis 📈
Types of Code Coverage:
📝 Statement Coverage – Ensures every line of code is executed at least once.
🔀 Branch Coverage – Tests all possible branches in decision-making constructs.
🤔 Decision Coverage – Validates all true/false conditions in the code.
🔢 Condition Coverage – Evaluates logical sub-expressions independently.
⚙️ Finite State Machine (FSM) Coverage – Tests transitions between system states.
Code Coverage vs. Functional Coverage
🛠️ Code Coverage – Focuses on testing the structure of the code.
🎯 Functional Coverage – Ensures all features work as expected.
Popular Code Coverage Tools:
🔹 Cobertura
🔹 Clover
🔹 Emma
🔹 Sonar
🔹 Bullseye for C++
Using code coverage helps improve software quality, but it doesn’t guarantee the software is bug-free! 🚀💡
