What I meant is that it can easily be misused. Code coverage is a nice
tool for guidance, to identify areas that needs improvement - I use
them myself too. But it's easy to get caught up in the idea of
increasing the coverage percentage just to increase the percentage of
coverage, if you understand what I mean. I don't think looking at a
coverage report and write a test just to cover that one line of code
will necessarily lead to a better tested code base. As long as you
focus on writing good tests, coverage will naturally become better.
