  • Why is Code Coverage a Practical Indicator of Test Effectiveness?

    Posted by sophielane on 15 de dezembro de 2025 às 03:25

    Code coverage is a key software testing metric used to evaluate how much of an application’s source code is executed during test runs. By highlighting which lines, branches, and conditions are exercised—and which are not—code coverage provides teams with clear visibility into gaps within their test suites. This makes it easier to identify untested logic, reduce the risk of hidden defects, and focus testing efforts on the most critical areas of the codebase.

    Beyond raw percentages, code coverage supports better engineering decisions throughout the development lifecycle. It helps teams validate refactoring efforts, enforce quality standards in CI/CD pipelines, and maintain long-term code health. When interpreted alongside well-designed test cases and risk-based testing strategies, code coverage becomes a powerful tool for improving software reliability rather than just a numeric target.
