Improve test coverage > 99% ;) #277
Comments
Something worth noting... High test coverage != good tests. |
@pradyunsg - Thats true. @llonchj has been trying to increase coverage so that we can be reasonably confident about python 3.x compatibility. Tests do have diminishing returns, so the goal is to get to a point where we are okay with what we have and gear up towards python 3.x. |
It's definitely true that picking 99% as an arbitrary coverage goal cannot guarantee good tests, but a good test suite usually implies high coverage. i.e. if a function is tested sufficiently, its coverage is likely to be high; as more functions become well tested, coverage goes up. Arguably, the title should be more toward "improve tests" than "improve test coverage" (ideally starting with the core and expanding from there), but that's probably just semantics :). |

Add the ``coverage`` plugin to ``nosetests`` commands run by ``tox``. References #277. Additionally, add a few more compatibility imports.
