Answer
Code coverage is a metric that measures the percentage of code that is executed when the test suite runs. It helps in assessing the quality of tests by identifying untested parts of the codebase. Higher code coverage generally indicates more thorough testing, but it doesn't guarantee the absence of bugs. Tools like Istanbul or Jest can be used to measure code coverage.
