Maximizing the Value of Code Coverage in Modern QA
-
While code coverage is often tracked as a percentage, its real value lies in providing actionable insights for software quality. Instead of chasing 100% coverage, teams should focus on identifying critical paths, complex logic, and edge cases that truly impact application reliability.
Analyzing code coverage reports helps developers understand which areas of the codebase are well-tested and which may need additional attention. This insight supports smarter test planning, reduces the risk of production defects, and helps prioritize automation efforts.
Platforms like Keploy enhance this process by capturing real-world application behavior and suggesting tests that fill coverage gaps automatically. This approach ensures testing is not only comprehensive but also relevant, improving overall product stability while reducing manual effort.
