Move fast, don't break things: Consistent testing standards at scale

Datadog Code Coverage is a tool that helps modern engineering teams maintain consistent testing standards across various services and repositories as they scale, by providing automated test coverage insights and enforcement within CI pipelines and pull requests. It addresses the challenge of inconsistent coverage standards and prevents untested code from being merged by implementing automated gates that block changes not meeting predefined thresholds. This ensures every codebase operates under a unified definition of quality, regardless of tech stack or team structure. By surfacing coverage insights directly in pull requests, developers receive immediate feedback, facilitating the addition of necessary tests before code merges. This approach allows teams to maintain development velocity without sacrificing quality, ultimately enabling faster and more reliable software delivery without the risks associated with untested code.
