Hi Vinicius,
as Ilija mentioned you can see here an overall view on the current 55%
line coverage in PHP. I guess its "line coverage" (a less strong code
coverage type in comparison to types like "branch coverage", "MC/DC" or
wonderful "path coverage"):
https://app.codecov.io/github/php/php-src?search=&trend=all%20time
More important than high line coverage would be to collect the
requirements of features in a project, which should be tested plus
negative variants of the reuirements. So, high code coverage is fine,
but high test coverage would be more helpful. :)
Here some sloppy explanations:
Code coverage:
Percentage of how many lines of code are covered by automated tests.
Test coverage:
Percentage of how many defined test cases covered real requirements.
Requirement coverage:
Percentage of how many reuirements are well defined and how many are
missing.
Be ware of:
100% line coverage does not mean anything other that 100% of the lines
of a project a "covered" by "any" automated tests, Your project still
includes bugs, missing features, security problems and crashes. So
additional coverage types like input value coverage, path coverage,
MC/DC and other helps to have more confidents in the correctness of the
project. :)
Best regards,
Thomas

I would like to know how or where I can find the code coverage for
php-src to see if there is any uncovered code I might be able to
contribute with new tests.
It lives here:
https://app.codecov.io/github/php/php-src
However, it seems it's currently borked. The nightly job succeeded, so
I'm not immediately sure what's wrong. I'll put it on my list, unless
somebody beats me to it.
