The real value comes when coverage is tracked in CI, combined with meaningful test types (unit + integration), and measured beyond simple line coverage by looking at branch/condition coverage for critical logic. A smart practice is to set realistic coverage thresholds per module, prevent big drops on pull requests, and focus on high-impact areas like payment flows, authentication, and data validation rather than chasing 100% everywhere. Coverage should guide better testing, not replace it—so pairing coverage reports with code reviews, mutation testing (when possible), and defect trends gives the most reliable quality signal.
