Effectively handling coverage reports in Meson can be difficult, particularly when test files distort the real findings. Developers can concentrate on improving actual code by excluding test directories, which guarantees a more accurate portrayal of untested sections. There are several options, ranging from altering meson.build files to filtering reports with Python scripts or LCOV. In CI/CD pipelines, these methods can be automated to stop superfluous files from influencing total coverage metrics. Developers can better understand the actual test coverage of their project by putting the correct method into practice.
