Live Webinar June 27th, 2013, 10:00 am – 11:00 am EDT
Duration:1 hour Webcast – Up to 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU
Hosted By: Typemock

For years we’ve looked for coverage as the key metric to represent quality. We know it’s not much, but it’s what we’ve got, right?

The truth is that coverage lies all the time. The easiest way to trick coverage tool is remove the “assert” statement from the test. There are a couple of ways we’re tricking ourselves to believe the coverage report, painting the wrong picture.

In this session, Gill will go over what he believes are coverage truths and what to actually look for in coverage reports. They are not useless – you just need to know what to look for.

Once we’ve got the right glasses on, we can make the right decisions: where to put more testing efforts, and decide when we have enough coverage.

We build assumptions and make decisions based on what coverage tells us. Let’s make sure we start by understanding what real useful coverage is.
