Setting coverage thresholds
5 min readLast updated 2026-04-27New
Define minimum coverage requirements at the project, module, and file level.
Coverage thresholds ensure critical code is always tested. Set different thresholds for different parts of your codebase.
Project-level threshold
// checkstudio.config.js
module.exports = {
coverage: {
global: { lines: 80, branches: 70, functions: 75 },
},
};Module-level overrides
coverage: {
global: { lines: 80 },
overrides: [
{ path: 'src/auth/**', lines: 95, branches: 90 },
{ path: 'src/utils/**', lines: 60 },
],
}Grace periods
New projects get a 30-day grace period before thresholds are enforced. This gives teams time to build coverage without blocking CI.
