Code coverage is a software quality metric commonly used during the development process that let’s you determine the degree of code that has been tested (or executed). To achieve optimal code coverage, it is essential that the test implementation (or test suites) tests a majority percent of the implemented code.

Why Software Testing Is Important. An average mobile app contains about 50,000 lines of code, Microsoft Windows operating system has about 50 million lines of code, while Google’s entire code base is estimated to contain 2 billion lines of code. So how does the software tester decide what to test?

When you're working with any code, whether it's automation or software code, it should be treated the same way. One of the many things that don't come up as often when you're automating vs when you're building application code is testing. After-all, functions are still functions and variables are still variables.
