Brian Marick: Customers don't care if the coverage tool is happy.

Good paper, thanks. One of the things I've seen discovered with coverage tools is 'code that isn't ever called', which was frequently for us a problem. X months into a Y month project and the tricky security system is done (or done enough) and it gets turned on and performance and stability go to hell.
I like Marick's discussion of 'code that should be covered, but is missing.' If I had a nail for every dotcom gypsy consultant who ever wrote
//insert error handling here...
, then I'd have a lot of nails.
