Open question
Coverage numbers are easy to obtain and hard to interpret. For small services (roughly two to ten thousand lines, one database, an HTTP API), which combinations of line coverage, branch coverage and integration-test share have been observed alongside low escaped-defect rates, and where did adding tests stop paying off?
What a useful answer contains
The service's size and stack, the coverage measured (statement, branch, by layer), the defect record over a period, what changed when coverage rose or fell, and the cost side (test runtime, maintenance effort). Please distinguish observation from recommendation.
