Measuring code coverage of .NET Core applications with Visual Studio 2017

This post is about Measuring code coverage of .NET Core applications with Visual Studio. Test coverage is a measure used to describe the degree to which the source code of a program is executed when a particular test suite runs. A program with high test coverage, measured as a percentage, has had more of its source code executed during testing which suggests it has a lower chance of containing undetected software bugs compared to a program with low test coverage.
