    It covers each and every line of the source code, each and every conditional statement in the program and every loop otherwise known as iteration in the program.

    I think it is important to note 100% code coverage (“covers each and every line”) does not mean the tests are good tests.

    The myth of 100% code coverage

        Worst, 100% coverage leaves you without a tool that is helpful for finding places where your tests might be lacking. Code coverage reports can be used to improve tests, but are not an indication of good tests in of itself.

      Yep… I can get you 100% code coverage of a bug-laden, exploit-ridden piece of software effortless. It’s a useless measure.
