their open shoulders provide very little in the way of protection. The main drawback of overalls is that they don't provide the upper body protection that coveralls do. Without another garment on top, overalls can only do so much to keep you warm and protect your upper body. Overalls also often have lower ANSI 107 ratings than coveralls.

**What problems is Coveralls solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Protection from hazardous materials. Coveralls provide full-body protection from hazardous materials such as chemicals, dust, and other harmful substances and Protection from extreme weather conditions.

  ### 3. Coveralls - Get your codes covered!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** OYEDEJI P. | Software Developer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Coveralls?**

- What I like best is the web-accessible HTML report I can generate from it which shows very comprehensible and detailed information about the test coverage of all the files in my project.
- it has great integration with popular CI services and programming languages
- Nice documentation

**What do you dislike about Coveralls?**

What I dislike is the unclear integration with Gitlab. On the documentation is says "Gitlab support coming very soon!"  but opening my account, I see an icon in the top-left saying that "Link to Gitlab". 
A clarification would be great for the users.

**Recommendations to others considering Coveralls:**

If you are looking to enhance your customer's satisfaction by providing quality assurance for them, then coveralls is the go to. It's got your codes covered.!!

**What problems is Coveralls solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work at a software development company where developers are developed/trained to work on both internal and external projects for customers who are partners with the company.
While working on these projects, Coveralls badge is added to the Repos providing software quality assurance for the partners. It provides an analysis to determine testing completeness.
This shows to the partners that the product is reliable hence enhances the partners' satisfaction.

  ### 4. Controll your coverage with comfort

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexander K. | Senior Software Developer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2016

**What do you like best about Coveralls?**

The best of this service is it's great docs and nice FAQ.
The other nice thing is that you can try it for free. Just follow the instructions in the docs and they will get you for your first configuration.
You can easily find parts that are uncovered and fix it.
Great integration with popular CI services with "Easy Way" configs in docs.
Coveralls can be used as required check for GitHub and BitBucket.
Free for Open Source projects.
Free 30 days trial for one private repo.

**What do you dislike about Coveralls?**

It will not be so easy to work with coveralls it there is no "Easy Way" for your desired language - you will be needed to use API.
There are small amout of languages examples in docs, but API is still nice and easy to use.
Sometimes works slow for free plans (Open Source repositories), but no problem for paid.

**Recommendations to others considering Coveralls:**

If you can't find the "Easy Way" in docs for desired programming language to setup coveralls - you can often find the answer on stackoverflow, forums, etc.


**What problems is Coveralls solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All of my repoes are configured to submit coverage by CI Service to coveralls. I have configured coveralls to consider build failing if coverage drops below 90% or decreased by 5% and add it as required check so I will never miss a huge lack of coverage.
Covealls helps a lot to find out missed lines and add unit or integration tests.


  ### 5. Coveralls is awesome for code coverage and can be seamlessly integrated with build processes

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arbi A. | Concepteur/Développeur, Telecommunications, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Coveralls?**

Code coverage is one of the pillars of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. It helps you grasp which parts of an application are not well tested. 
Coveralls helps you with this in addition to tracking code coverage over time. Coveralls is able to do this by collecting code coverage data of an application and analyse them to find issues that otherwise you will not see until they become a problem. Coveralls exposes a summary of these data in a simple interface With whom you can see trends and changes on coverage for all the source files of the application.
Furthermore, it supports a plethora of programming languages (e.g. Java, C/C++, Go, Javascript, Python, etc.)
In addition, it is super easy to setup especially if you're using platforms like Github, Bitbucket or Gitlab. And it's free for open source repositories. 

**What do you dislike about Coveralls?**

I didn't have a lot of problems while using it but sometimes when you add a Coveralls badge to a repository this badge may not be updated for each commit/build. Also at some point in the past, Coveralls didn't provide code coverage for branches (it provided only for master) which may be harmful as you couldn't see the code coverage for you branch until you merge it with the master branch, but I think this was fixed. 
Coveralls is great for integrating with build processes and updating badges, but this may not be a good measurement of code coverage.

**Recommendations to others considering Coveralls:**

If you are looking (and you have to) for a hosted service to ensure that all your new code is fully covered, and see coverage trends emerge, then Coveralls is the right tool for you.

Basically Coveralls with the conjunction of an Integration Service will automate running tests and checking the percentage of the source code that is covered. Then, Coveralls will produce a nice report that shows the coverage percentage for every tested file/module and lines of code.

If you have a github repository and you are looking for test coverage then Coveralls is your friend. In fact, Coveralls is quite easy to configure, all you need is connect our Coveralls.io profile with GitHub (or Bitbucket) then enable the repository. After that, Coveralls will be triggered after each successful build.

**What problems is Coveralls solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was trying to maintain a well-tested codebase (which is mission-critical) and having automated tests to run at each change with a continuous integration server.
But still wasn't able to track changes in tests and the introduction of new bugs. Coveralls release this pain from my shoulders and gave me the ability to continue releasing code with confidence.

  ### 6. cool way to check where lack of testing coverage in app/product

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gaurav S. | Senior Software Engineering, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2016

**What do you like best about Coveralls?**

Automation process is awesome when we write a new code and don't add test case it show how test are important for that new code and overall coverage. We can check it's essential to write test first for that code or we can hot fix without test.
It's Free for open source projects is pretty cool.

**What do you dislike about Coveralls?**

Internal working or criteria to check testing part of the app is hard to understand of COVERALLS. 

**What problems is Coveralls solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Overall testing coverage of the product and apps. More secure about the code and write the test with code and deploy.

  ### 7. Great visualizer for code coverage

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan B. | Senior Software Engineer III, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2016

**What do you like best about Coveralls?**

Coveralls has the best code coverage interface that i have seen to date.  The dashboard is very intuitive, clean, and useful.

**What do you dislike about Coveralls?**

I have been using coveralls for several years, and have not had any criticisms.

**What problems is Coveralls solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With CI and the option for badges, there is immediate and clear feedback about test coverage changes. It is even possible for it to fail a CI deployment if the coverage drops below a certain level.
