Use a coverage report to see what’s covered
Most coverage tools—especially ones like CruiseControl that integrate
with other CI and version control tools—can generate a report telling
you how much of your code is covered.
Here’s a report for testing the ComplexCode class on the last page, and
providing a valid username and password:
Each class is listed individually
(broken up by package) One measure of testing
coverage is line coverage-what
percentage of the total lines
of code are we executing
through our tests?
So the above test manages to test 62% of the User class, 71% of the
ComplexCode class, and 75% of UserCredentials. Things get a lot
better if you add in all the failure cases described on page 264.

testing and continuous integration
Code complexity basically tells us
how many different paths there
are through a given class’s code.
If there are lots of conditionals
(more complicated code), this
number will be high.
Another measure is
branch coveragewhat
percentage of
the alternate flows
(ifs, elses, etc.) are
we executing?
Add in the failure cases and we’re
in much better shape with the
ComplexCode class. Still need work on
the User class though...
