Importance Of Test Coverage
Let’s learn more in detail about test coverage: Test coverage is a technique that determines whether the test cases actually cover the application code and how much code is exercised when those test cases are run. It helps in evaluating the effectiveness of testing by providing data on various coverage items. Test coverage can also help in monitoring the quality of testing and assist testers in creating test cases that cover areas that have not been tested. Following are a few more points to support the significance of test coverage:- Identification of gaps in test requirements, test cases and defects at early stages
- Prevention of defect leakage by using test coverage analysis
- It also supports regression testing, test case prioritization, test suite augmentation and test suite minimization.
