But this is only the ELI5! If you want to know what the difference is between things like Statement, Branch, and Condition coverage then read through the full post to know everything

It's an incredibly useful part of your toolset, but you need to pair it with fuzzing, 3rd party review, and just spending time finding unorthodox attack vectors that no tool could predict to truly lower the chances of your project becoming the next front page headline

So very high coverage is a necessary but not sufficient condition for having good unit tests It's a nice thing to have, but not necessarily the end goal

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 21/07/2023

High coverage just shows that your code does something during the test, not what that it is doing the right thing Relying on it as a way to know if something is secure is the path to getting hacked by a teenager in a basement blaring dubstep

100% coverage doesn't mean that your code was fully tested, bulletproof, and can survive North Korean hackers It just means that all the lines of your source code were executed at least once during your test suite

So if you have 80% coverage then 80% of your code is being exercised by whatever tests are running on your code base. Generally, the more % covered the better However....

So wtf is coverage, does it even matter, and do you need to achieve 100% coverage or will your code explode? Well yes, but also no, but also kinda Lets step back and cover the basics "Code coverage" refers to the amount of your code which is checked by automated testing

Code Coverage Explained Ever wonder wtf "Coverage" is and why ppl keep talking about it? Well we just released the 1st part of our series on coverage and we'll take you through it so you can be a better dev and not waste time on stuff you don't need

feat: improved error message for ArgumentsLengthError Small fix, great fix. We made error feedback just that little bit better

Configure your dependencies, compilers, and projects in any way you like! This gives you so much control you can comb through and tweak every single thing imaginable without hassle!

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

feat: support global ape-config.yaml files This one is really cool Before this update: Only per-project config files After this update: Global + per-user config files!

100

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

feat: extra settings for dependencies You can now use compiler settings config for dependencies! A small feature, but great feature for handling those annoying PUSH0-related issues

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

feat: EIP-5202 blueprint support with API method Here's the head Ape explaining why this one is so cool twitter.com/fubuloubu/status/167743…

feat: ability to see constructor transaction traces and gas With this you'll be able to see traces for contract deployments waaaay better

100

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

Basically, it saves you 30 gas for free! No questions asked But also it allows Ape to detect this subtle varient of ERC-1167 proxies and what the real interface is for the code, since the proxy just forwards to it's implementation

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

feat: detect solady push0 minimal proxies This is a really cool one made by the Yearn bunnylord himself, @bantg It's special type of proxy that was made from ERC-1167 proxies with the new PUSH0 opcode, which was only added recently

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

feat: ape pm compile for all dependencies and prevent failing on first dependency during compile And the brother of the PRs. When you compile dependencies they now happen in parallel vs series so you get a clear view of all the errors Dependency management has never been easier

100

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

feat: --include-dependencies flag for ape compile command and setting This is the sister PR to the previous one. You can now force recompile your dependencies alongside customising them!

100

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023

feat: ape pm CLI commands Work, alter, and compile dependencies separately from your own project + install whatever you like thats not listed in your Ape config! Add customisation to your customisation to your customisation!

ApeWorX Ltd. @apeworx.io · 19/07/2023
