Test Coverage

Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

A metric showing what percentage of your code is executed by your test suite — useful for finding untested areas, but a poor standalone measure of test quality.

How to Learn This

  • 1Run a coverage report on a project and identify the least-tested files.
  • 2Add tests for one genuinely important untested code path, not just to raise the percentage.
  • 3Learn why 100% coverage doesn't guarantee your tests actually catch bugs.
