Platform Update: Introducing Our New Coverage Page
Code coverage is essential because it measures how much of your code is executed during testing, helping you to ensure that critical paths and potential bugs are not overlooked.
That’s why we set out to make this information more accessible to find within Codacy. Say “hello” to our new Coverage page!
How It Works
The new Coverage page is located between the Issues and Pull requests tabs in the main menu. It shows critical metrics and insights related to coverage. These insights are now more actionable than ever, with calls to action displayed when goals or gates are not set for coverage. The Coverage page also provides direct access to files with other quality problems that could benefit from more tests.
We also made it so Coverage setup assistants will be shown for repositories that don't have coverage yet.
We’ve also added two tables to help users find files that could benefit from better coverage: “Files with issues and low coverage” and “Files with high complexity and low coverage.”
With this knowledge, developers can immediately identify areas to focus their testing efforts. Try the new Coverage Page and let us know what you think!
