Balancing test coverage without chasing 100 percent

Code coverage can be a tricky metric to make sense of. Our approach is to use code-coverage numbers as a starting signal rather than an end result.

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss realistic thresholds, choosing the right tool for each test layer, and why coverage metrics can double as negotiation leverage inside big organizations.

Listen in for practical ways to decide what to test—and when to stop.
