UnverifiedGitHub branch protection rules require CI status checks to pass before merging, and will block PR merges when CI runs fail or are in a pending state.72% similarUnverifiedGitHub's official explanation: the corresponding latest commit that needs to be checked must be checked; if a merge commit status exists, check that, otherwise check the latest head commit, and one must not mechanically use only the earliest run as the basis.69% similarUnverifiedTest coverage metrics are misleading: 100% line coverage only means every line of code has been executed, not that all consequences of that execution have been verified.66% similarUnverifiedCommon merge gates include unit test pass rates, code coverage thresholds, static analysis with no errors, and security vulnerability scanning, and they are deeply integrated with platforms such as GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.65% similarUnverifiedPassing a test can only prove that the asserted portion of behavior is correct; it cannot verify other side effects produced during code execution.65% similar
