Code coverage dashboard is a tool that is used to keep track of code coverages for multiple projects and their branches. Most programming languages provide unit testing and the ability to output code coverage.

Code coverage of tests simply means how much code is covered from the written unit tests. The total percentage of code coverage is useful to identify untested lines of code.

In this article, I talk about how to effectively use the total code coverage percentage using the code coverage dashboard tool.

The code coverage visualization solution that we have developed, is useful for small to large companies. Especially useful to those who do not want to pay an extra amount for freemium services since they do not cover private repositories and most also do not support self-hosted.

Background of current code coverage tools

Many tools such as SonarQube and Codecov, helps you track code coverage of the projects. Since both of these provide basic functionality but to make it to an effective use a premium plan is required.

Therefore, we developed a totally free and open-source solution that solves 2 key indicators on how to effectively report code coverage.
