What is the use of code coverage in Salesforce?
Code coverage indicates how many executable lines of code in your classes and triggers have been exercised by test methods. You must write test methods for your classes and triggers, and then run those tests to generate code coverage information.
How do I check my sandbox code coverage?
Follow these steps every time you run the code coverage to have reliable coverage details:

How to increase code coverage in unit test?
I found a “funny” and really dirty way that was used on a class just to achieve the minimal amount of code coverage. The org has 10 classes and I found that all of them had an static method called fakeMethod. Then I found one test class that contains only one method calling those fakeMethod for each class.
How does code coverage work in software development?
Code coverage is the answer to all these questions. As the product development progresses, new features, as well as fixes (to the bugs raised during testing) are added to the release cycle. This means that the test code may also require changes in order to keep it updated with the software changes made during development.
Why are code coverage results not stored on deployment?
The reason code coverage results are not stored on deployment is to support rollback. The coverage is stored as data in its own transaction. When you run tests in the developer console, you are not persisting anything to the data store besides these records. With a deployment, you are modifying metadata in addition to running tests.
What’s the difference between code coverage and test coverage?
Statement Coverage – This is an important code coverage methodology in which test code has to be written in a manner that every executable statement in the source code is executed at least once. This also includes corner cases or boundary cases.
