Strictly relying on code coverage metrics to measure the code quality is a bad idea
1️⃣ Quantity over Quality
High code coverage doesn't ensure that your tests are robust and meaningful that catch bugs effectively.
2️⃣ False Sense of Security
Achieving a high code coverage percentage might create a false sense of security.
3️⃣ Overemphasis on Unit Tests
Code coverage metrics often focus on unit tests, which test individual components in isolation.

Developer productivity focuses on optimizing development processes and output, whereas Developer experience emphasizes overall satisfaction and usability.
To build a high powered engineering team the right balance of both needs to be built.
➡️ How is your org tackling this? Surveys, data tracking or collaboration?

Recap of Plato Elevate, Hangar DX panel
We were lucky to hear from the expertise of Laurie Darcey (Reddit), Cherif YAYA (Airbnb) and Adam Berry (Amplitude) and our host Ankit Jain (CEO of Aviator).
One key takeaway is to recognize signals within your eng team that prompts investing in developer experience.
