[What is Code coverage?]

Code Coverage is different from Test coverage. Code coverage is about unit testing practices that must target all areas of the code at least once. It is usually done by developers or unit testers.

Code coverage is a measurement of how many lines/blocks/arcs of your code are executed while the automated tests are running.
