Overview
Codecov, now under Sentry, collects test-coverage data from your CI runs and turns it into clear visualizations, posting coverage changes as pull-request comments and gating merges on thresholds you set. It plugs the gap between running tests and actually enforcing coverage standards in code review. Developers and QA teams use it to keep coverage from quietly eroding, and it competes with Coveralls and SonarCloud's coverage features, winning on its PR feedback and clean reporting. It's freemium, free for open source and small teams with a low-cost pro tier. Practical caveats: you have to wire up coverage uploads from CI, and very large repositories can slow processing, so factor in setup and scale.
