A Go tool for sending code coverage reports to Coveralls.io, enabling continuous coverage tracking.
What is goveralls?
goveralls is a Go command-line tool that sends code coverage reports from Go test suites to the Coveralls.io service. It solves the problem of tracking and visualizing test coverage over time in continuous integration pipelines, helping developers maintain code quality.
Go developers and teams using CI/CD pipelines who want to monitor test coverage metrics through Coveralls.io.
Developers choose goveralls because it provides a simple, standardized way to integrate Go's built-in coverage tools with Coveralls, supports all major CI platforms, and handles parallel test executions seamlessly.
Overview
goveralls is a command-line tool that integrates Go projects with the Coveralls.io service, allowing developers to track code coverage metrics across their test suites. It automates the process of collecting coverage data and uploading it to Coveralls, providing visibility into test effectiveness over time.
