Testing Based on Code Coverage: The Go/No-Go Dilemma Before Software Release

One of the most critical moments in software development is the pre-release Go/No-Go decision, which determines whether the software is ready for market. Source code test coverage plays a key role in this decision, showing how much of the code has been tested. TestNavigator is a tool that supports the quality and efficiency of testing, enabling the minimization of pre-release risks. The system provides a transparent Go/No-Go status, allowing for well-founded decisions on software release, preventing damages caused by insufficiently tested updates.

In the world of software development, one of the most critical moments is the pre-release decision. Those responsible for releasing a new version must determine whether the software is ready to be delivered to users or if further work is needed. This decision is influenced by many factors, but one of the most important metrics is the test coverage of the source code. Why do so few companies still rely on this metric, and does test coverage truly determine whether software is ready for market release?
