--fail-under-lines gate on PRs| Metric | Notes |
|---|---|
| Line coverage | Common CI metric |
| Branch coverage | Harder; llvm-cov focus on regions |
Uncovered match arms | High-value targets |
Coverage does not equal correctness. Pair with clippy, property tests, and review.
cargo llvm-cov --open # HTML report
cargo llvm-cov --summary-only # quick terminal summaryExclude generated code and #[cfg(test)] only modules via config file .llvm-cov.toml if needed.
cargo test or nextest passes first in CI job.cargo llvm-cov --doc separately if policy includes docs. Fix: document which targets count toward gate.| Alternative | Use When | Don't Use When |
|---|---|---|
tarpaulin | Linux-only quick setup | Cross-platform llvm consistency needed |
| No coverage gate | Early prototype | Production payment/auth paths |
| Mutation testing | Test quality audit | Default CI (expensive) |
llvm-cov uses rustc's native instrumentation; generally preferred for accuracy and workspace support.
Start 60-70% lines on domain crates; ratchet upward; never block on generated/boilerplate modules.
Yes by default when running full workspace test; use -p to scope.
.llvm-cov.toml ignore patterns for build.rs output and tests/fixtures.
llvm-cov works; ensure Xcode/clang toolchain available on runner.
Upload per-job lcov; Codecov merges reports from OS/feature matrix.
No unless you run benches under llvm-cov explicitly; benches are separate targets.
Run --all-features job separately; coverage can differ per cfg.
Codecov or similar posts diff coverage on changed lines.
Run from root with --workspace; same as tests.
