Integrate Codecov in Slack
with Axolo

Codecov is a powerful GitHub application that offers integrated tools to help developers group, merge, archive, and compare coverage reports. With Codecov, developers can easily upload coverage reports from their CI, and the application will merge all builds and languages into one coherent report. The coverage data is then displayed in the GitHub Files tab, making it easy for developers to track and manage their code coverage.

One of the most impressive features of Codecov is its ability to keep track of the CI provider and user-specified context, such as #unittest or #smoketest, making it easier for developers to manage their workflows. Additionally, Codecov offers a coverage overlay directly in the GitHub UI to assist in code review, and highly detailed pull request comments and customizable commit statuses to improve team workflow and code coverage incrementally.

Codecov also offers file-backed configuration through the codecov.yml, making it easy for developers to manage their configurations. While free users can sign up for Codecov, only paid users can view reports on private repos and post Codecov statuses/comments on PRs.

Overall, Codecov is an essential tool for developers looking to manage their code coverage more efficiently and effectively.
