Suggesting: Test coverage

Hi,

i suggest a addition to the quality of code by measuring test ratios.

testratio = (Lines of Code - Lines of Tests)/Lines of Tests

would give a rouge percentage of test coverage for a project. Of course there has to be some fuzzy code to detect which code could be tests like code in folders with names like test(s|suite){1,0}, lines with asserts, doctests,...

Projects which have a large testsuite usually have a good code base which lesser regression bugs then projects without.

Tha would really be great! Any way we are going to see something like this implemented?

Totally nice.

+1

It would be a good addition, but only when the tests had been correctly spotted. Otherwise the project would look like a complete untested trash :)

There are so many different approaches and many custom ones, so I think the best way to do something like that is allow the project admins to describe test environment themselves.

good idea. maybe some regular expression technique
