Code coverage measures how much of an application's source code is exercised by tests, typically expressed as a percentage. Using the pytest framework, developers can generate detailed code coverage reports using tools like coverage.py and pytest-cov. These tools provide various reporting options, such as HTML or XML, and support extensive customization. Achieving high code coverage helps identify untested code, minimizing the risk of undetected bugs. Walkthroughs and examples demonstrate how to set up and execute tests for comprehensive code coverage, even on cloud-based platforms like LambdaTest.
