Shifting the testing culture: Code coverage

Read Original

This article, part of a series on testing culture, argues that code coverage measures untested code rather than test quality. It uses a Swift code example to illustrate how high coverage can mask untested logic. The post details using llvm-cov for granular analysis, integrating coverage data into developer workflows and dashboards, and tracking historical trends to improve testing practices.
