Find missing tests
instantly
❌ Coverage percentage targets let untested code slip through code review. Post-factum test additions cost you more and miss the context.
✅ Undercover integrates with your CI and local workflow to warn on all methods, classes, blocks and branches that were changed without test coverage. Catch them early, prevent bugs and ship with confidence.

Leading Ruby engineering teams review test coverage with undercover
Integrating good tools into your code review flow simplifies everything 😌. A great example is https://t.co/nJOemX8oh7, ensuring each change is well-tested 🛠️. Kudos to @mrgrodo for creating it and offering fantastic support for any queries!

Shoutout to @mrgrodo's (still underappreciated) work on https://t.co/IsSyc2lz0s! This little gem helped me keep 99% code coverage in one of of my Open Source Ruby gems: https://t.co/wkGVV6WSfL.

Totally recommend it if you care about the quality of your open source work!
How it works
Stop focusing on getting to 100% test coverage.
Detect when changed code is untested before it's deployed.
Find untested code blocks
Each class, method or block that's been changed without tests receives a check annotation including detailed information about what's missing and where: line coverage or branch coverage, plus respective line numbers and number of hits.
Worried about too many comments? You won't receive more than one comment per method, because Undercover understands code structure and only works with the current diff.
Ship on green
No untested changes in the diff? Merge away.
Otherwise, it's up to you to configure whether a passing check is required to merge. If you decide to make it required, selected annotations can still be muted with SimpleCov's :nocov:
comment syntax to go green and fix coverage later.
Monitor your test suite health
Lists file names, class/method names and coverage information for a commit or pull request. Methods that cause the check to fail are flagged with a warning emoji (⚠️) - one or more line or branch appears in the PR diff and has to be fixed.
All others provide a refactoring opportunity for you to improve the test coverage if it's low somewhere outside of the diff.

Why Undercover?
Updates and links to read about Ruby test coverage strategy
The purpose of branch coverage is to check whether every conditional branch in a given line of code has been tested and Ruby has this feature since2.5
. Ruby’ssimplecov
can report branch coverage too and now so does undercover with the new0.4
release!
Today, I’m launching UndercoverCI— a CI robot who protects your Ruby codebase from untested code changes. Take a moment to learn why you should add it to your team’s code review workflow. Adding UndercoverCI to your code review workflow will prevent untested code changes from slipping into production without anyone noticing.
So what is the value of coverage analysis again? Well it helps you find which bits of your code aren't being tested. It's worth running coverage tools every so often and looking at these bits of untested code. Do they worry you that they aren't being tested?
