Ideally suited for managers to make informed release decisions for projects, features, and user stories.


Centralized Insights: Code Coverage Data Hub for Go/No-Go Decisions

The Release Go / No-Go Report serves as a centralized hub for gathering and analyzing code coverage data, providing a holistic view of the project's overall code coverage status. It seamlessly integrates information from user stories, their corresponding code changes, and the associated code coverage metrics, offering granular insights at the level of each user story and its code changes.

The Value of Non-Unit Tests Coverage

Going beyond simple overall coverage percentages, the report delves into non-unit test coverage metrics, which are crucial for comprehensive testing. Non-unit tests, such as integration, functional, and end-to-end tests, play a vital role in verifying the functionality and behavior of software. This granularity is crucial, as high overall coverage percentages based solely on unit tests can sometimes paint an incomplete and misleading picture of the true code coverage landscape.

This granular analysis is particularly valuable for identifying potential hotspots where undetected defects may lurk. By focusing on non-unit tests, which often target more complex functionalities, teams can proactively address these areas and enhance the overall quality of the software.

Scannable Insights at a Glance

To facilitate rapid evaluation of code coverage within our User Story Coverage Report, we implemented intuitive color indicators:

  • Red: Attention needed, coverage less than 20%

  • Orange: Room for improvement, coverage between 20% and 70%.

  • Green: Well-covered, exceeding 70% coverage.

These color indicators can be customized to suit specific project requirements. Additionally, methods marked as critical will appear red if they have not been tested by any test type, or orange if they have not been tested by any non-unit test type.
