Summary

In this chapter, we explored the two confusing terms of code and test coverage. We properly defined them and clarified the differences between them.

We then focused on code coverage for JavaScript web applications through the leading open source tool called Istanbul with its supporting Babel plugin.

Lastly, we gave as a reference and an example a guide for integrating the Istanbul/Babel tools into Cypress for measuring code coverage through end-to-end functional testing.

That concludes this chapter!

In the following chapter, which opens the last part of this book (Part 3), we will start diving deeper into the most advanced features of the leading test automation frameworks. The following chapter will start with the advanced features of Selenium.
