Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed towards providing code coverage during software development. Implementation of code coverage assist developers in visualizing what portions of new code being developed can be tested via available tests as well as evaluating those portions of new code. The testing of the new code in this manner allows developers to understand whether portions of the new code have been developed properly. When the new code is determined to be satisfactory, via the tests and coverage, the new code can be incorporated into the master code branch. By testing the new code before merging, interruptions and downtime associated with the master code branch can be minimized.
