我认为最重要的是了解随着时间的推移，覆盖率的趋势是什么，并理解趋势变化的原因。你认为趋势的变化是好是坏取决于你对原因的分析。

从Testivus的帖子中，我认为答案上下文应该是第二个程序员。

从实际的角度来看，我们需要争取参数/目标。

我认为这可以在敏捷过程中进行“测试”，方法是分析我们拥有的代码、架构、功能(用户故事)，然后得出一个数字。根据我在电信领域的经验，我认为60%是一个很好的值。

我认为不可能有这样的B/W规则。 应该审查代码，特别注意关键细节。 然而，如果它没有经过测试，它就有一个bug!

许多商店不看重测试的价值，所以如果你高于零，至少有一些价值的升值——所以可以说非零并不是坏事，因为许多仍然是零。

在。net世界中，人们经常引用80%作为合理的。但题目说的是溶液水平。我更喜欢在项目级别进行度量:如果有Selenium等或手动测试，那么UI项目的30%可能就可以了，数据层项目的20%可能就可以了，但是对于业务规则层(如果不是完全必要的话)，95%以上可能是可以实现的。因此，总体覆盖率可能是60%，但关键业务逻辑可能更高。

我也听过这样的话:追求100%，你就能达到80%;但是，立志达到80%，你就会达到40%。

底线:应用80:20规则，让应用程序的bug计数来指导你。

我使用cobertura，无论百分比是多少，我都建议保持cobertura检查任务中的值是最新的。至少，不断提高totallinerate和totalbranrate到刚好低于你当前的覆盖率，但永远不要降低这些值。还将Ant构建失败属性绑定到此任务。如果构建因为缺乏覆盖而失败，那么您知道有人添加了代码，但没有测试它。例子:

<cobertura-check linerate="0"
                 branchrate="0"
                 totallinerate="70"
                 totalbranchrate="90"
                 failureproperty="build.failed" />

Alberto Savoia的这篇散文恰好回答了这个问题(以一种非常有趣的方式!):

Testivus On Test Coverage Early one morning, a programmer asked the great master: “I am ready to write some unit tests. What code coverage should I aim for?” The great master replied: “Don’t worry about coverage, just write some good tests.” The programmer smiled, bowed, and left. ... Later that day, a second programmer asked the same question. The great master pointed at a pot of boiling water and said: “How many grains of rice should I put in that pot?” The programmer, looking puzzled, replied: “How can I possibly tell you? It depends on how many people you need to feed, how hungry they are, what other food you are serving, how much rice you have available, and so on.” “Exactly,” said the great master. The second programmer smiled, bowed, and left. ... Toward the end of the day, a third programmer came and asked the same question about code coverage. “Eighty percent and no less!” Replied the master in a stern voice, pounding his fist on the table. The third programmer smiled, bowed, and left. ... After this last reply, a young apprentice approached the great master: “Great master, today I overheard you answer the same question about code coverage with three different answers. Why?” The great master stood up from his chair: “Come get some fresh tea with me and let’s talk about it.” After they filled their cups with smoking hot green tea, the great master began to answer: “The first programmer is new and just getting started with testing. Right now he has a lot of code and no tests. He has a long way to go; focusing on code coverage at this time would be depressing and quite useless. He’s better off just getting used to writing and running some tests. He can worry about coverage later.” “The second programmer, on the other hand, is quite experience both at programming and testing. When I replied by asking her how many grains of rice I should put in a pot, I helped her realize that the amount of testing necessary depends on a number of factors, and she knows those factors better than I do – it’s her code after all. There is no single, simple, answer, and she’s smart enough to handle the truth and work with that.” “I see,” said the young apprentice, “but if there is no single simple answer, then why did you answer the third programmer ‘Eighty percent and no less’?” The great master laughed so hard and loud that his belly, evidence that he drank more than just green tea, flopped up and down. “The third programmer wants only simple answers – even when there are no simple answers … and then does not follow them anyway.” The young apprentice and the grizzled great master finished drinking their tea in contemplative silence.
