What is Test Coverage?

For example, consider an application with 5,000 lines of code.


If the defined test cases can test 2,500 lines of code, then the
test coverage is 50%.

How is test coverage different from code coverage? Code


coverage in unit testing defines as a percentage of code lines
tested using at least one test case. In essence, test coverage
can measure the efficiency and usability of the entire
application.

For instance, even after 100% code coverage, applications can


still contain "untested" scenarios. This is where test coverage
comes into play.
Next, let us discuss the four main test coverage techniques.

1. Product Coverage

The Product test coverage technique measures the various


parts (or modules) of the tested application. For example,
consider a "shopping cart" application that calculates the
increments (on adding an item to the cart) and decrements
(on removing an item from the cart).

With product test coverage, testers can test the


increment/decrement functionality, as well as the
maximum (or minimum) items that the cart can support.

2. Risk Coverage
This test coverage technique is all about identifying the
risk elements (within any application) and completely
testing them. An example of a risk element in an
eCommerce app is whether shoppers can connect to the
third-party payment gateway and complete their
payments successfully. Based on the risk assessments, four
scenarios are likely to develop, namely:

- “Likely scenario with High impact” – requires mandatory


testing.
- “Unlikely scenario with High impact” – also requires
testing.
- “Likely scenario with Low impact” – requires testing only if
time permits.
- “Unlikely scenario with Low impact” – does not require
testing.

3. Requirements Coverage

The requirements test coverage technique tests if


the product or application meets the customer
requirements. This technique bases itself on the
philosophy that "high-quality products are useless
if they don't serve user requirements."

In essence, this technique measures if the final


product contains all the "promised" functionalities
and meets the customer's listed requirements.

4. Compatibility Coverage

Compatibility test coverage ensures that the


testing checks the final application across all
supported devices and browsers. To that end, this
technique aims to reduce the product's
compatibility-related problems.

There are multiple subtypes of compatibility


coverage, including browser testing, mobile
testing, hardware testing, and network testing.

Benefits of Test Coverage


- By detecting bugs in the early phase of development, test
coverage can save companies both time and effort.

- Test coverage can identify gaps in fulfilling customer


requirements, thus encouraging product acceptance and better
customer ratings.

- Test coverage measures “what needs to be improved” in the


application, improving the overall testing strategy.

- Efficient test coverage leads to lesser defects during


production testing and user acceptance testing, meaning lesser
utilization of available resources.

- Using tracking and quality measurements, test coverage can


increase the ROI of automation testing.

Why ACCELQ Is the Best Platform for Test


Coverage

ACCELQ is the best tool to achieve "codeless" test


automation and accelerate continuous testing. Our
innovative automation testing approach improves testing
productivity by 3x and reduces costs by 70%. This leads to an
improved ROI at every stage of the development lifecycle.

Moreover, with ACCELQ Connect, testers can retrieve test


coverage information from the ACCELQ automation
platform into the JIRA environment. For each reported issue
in JIRA, you can obtain information about the mapped test
scenarios along with their latest status. Here is how to
download the JIRA plugin for ACCELQ test coverage.
