Overview
A command-line utility for running Dart tests on the VM and collecting coverage data. It helps developers measure how much of their code is exercised by tests, enabling better test quality and identification of untested code paths. The tool integrates seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines and supports both unit and integration tests. Coverage reports can be generated in various formats for analysis and reporting. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, it's particularly useful for teams aiming to maintain high test coverage standards.
