An example of partial code coverage by a unit test

#Contest #Testing #VSCode #InterSystems IRIS

The new version of InterSystems Testing Manager which I released last week brings @Timothy Leavitt's cool 
Test Coverage Tool to VS Code, and is my entry for the 2025 Developer Tools contest.

Here's a teaser screenshot showing how the unit tests of the IPM project don't yet cover a feature that apparently allows an IPM repository to override its sort order.

Notice how line 88 is decorated red as a warning to the developer.

A "battery indicator"-style decoration in VS Code's Explorer view shows amber because tests cover only 76% of the executable lines in the methods of this class. Hovering on the indicator shows more information, and the method coverage (8 out of 9) is also displayed as a second indicator in the optional Test Coverage Toolbar on the editor.

Thresholds can be configured in VS Code, as can the colors if red-amber-green are hard to distinguish.

Like what you see? If you're already using the InterSystems %UnitTest framework please try it for yourself. Feedback welcome, as are votes in the contest before voting closes on Sunday August 3rd at midnight Eastern Time.

Dunder methods are special methods in Python that start and end with double underscores (__). They allow you to define the behavior of your objects for built-in operations, such as addition, subtraction, string representation, and more.

Some common dunder methods include:
