Test Coverage

Summary

Test coverage is a metric used in software testing that indicates the extent to which the source code of a program is tested by the tests that are run. It is a key indicator of the quality of software and helps in identifying parts of the code that are not adequately tested.

Detailed Description

Test coverage measures how much of the code has been tested by the existing tests. It is typically expressed as a percentage, representing the number of executed lines of code in relation to the total lines of code available in the software. Higher test coverage indicates fewer untested lines of code and is generally considered good practice in software development to reduce the risks of errors and bugs in released software.
