The state of code coverage for Kotlin
Nowadays it’s not anymore a question whether we want to write tests or not. Writing unit tests is not “nice-to-have” it’s an essential part of our everyday job. While that’s already a great step forward, how can we be sure our tests are actually testing something. To check this we all use code coverage tools.
In this presentation you will learn how code coverage for Kotlin works, which tools we can use and what are the challenges and limitations of various approaches. You will learn the difference between line, instruction and condition coverage and how to read and interpret coverage results in Kotlin.
In the last part of this presentation we will cover the future for Kotlin Code Coverage, what is missing and what can be improved in the future.
