In Defense of 100% Unit Test Coverage

Read Original

This article advocates for achieving 100% unit test coverage in software projects. It presents three key arguments in favor (encouraging testable components, collaboration, and the coverage itself) and rebuts three common arguments against it (diminishing returns, barrier to entry, misleading priorities). The author clarifies that code coverage is not a silver bullet but a valuable tool within a broader context of good development practices and teamwork.
