Coverage

Test runs from all of the built-in test tools generate cover data. Calling rebar3 cover at any later point generates a general code coverage report by merging all the individual reports:

$ rebar3 ct --dir test/suites1 --cover --cover_export_name=suites1
===> Running Common Test suites...
...
$ rebar3 ct --dir test/suites2 --cover --cover_export_name=suites2
===> Running Common Test suites...
...
$ ls _build/test/cover
cover.log    suite1.coverdata    suite2.coverdata
$ rebar3 cover --verbose
===> Performing cover analysis...
