.NET Core coverage with coverlet
At work we work mainly with Microsoft technologies, so I’m being exposed to things like C#, .NET Core, .NET Framework, Azure, etc. So I’m vesting more time learning tools and processes around Microsoft tools. This post is a kind of recipe to get started into .NET Core 3.1 with coverage and SonarQube to keep track of metrics.

Create the project
Let’s start by creating two projects: the program itself and the test one. Then we create a solution file (sln), add both projects and reference the program from the test project:
