Code coverage is a software testing metric that measures the percentage of source code executed when a test suite runs, commonly tracked via statement, branch, or line coverage. Developers and QA engineers use tools like JaCoCo, Istanbul, or Coverage.py to identify untested parts of a codebase and assess test suite thoroughness. High coverage doesn't guarantee correctness but helps teams find gaps in testing and reduce the risk of undetected defects.
