Codecov

Test coverage reporting for pull requests.

What it is

Codecov reports test coverage on pull requests and can fail a build when coverage drops. Showing coverage change on the pull request is what makes it act on behaviour, rather than a number nobody reads. Coverage is a proxy for test quality, not a measure of it, and treating the target as a goal is the common failure.

Skip it if

Our verdict

Useful as a trend signal. Chasing a coverage number instead of writing good tests is the classic misuse.
