Test Coverage

Test Coverage is a software testing metric that quantifies the extent to which a test suite exercises the source code, specifications, or requirements of a system, distinguishing it from other verification measures by specifically indicating the proportion of elements (such as statements, branches, or functionalities) exercised by tests relative to those available for testing.
