How to get code coverage data out of integration tests
I'm working on a project that utilizes the standard Rust unit tests for some of its tests. However, most of the testing is done through integration tests with Bats (https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core). The Bats tests just run the binary. Is it possible to get code coverage data out of these tests somehow?

Testing Terraform infra - terratest alternatives?
I'm considering something like BATS, but maybe there are other specialized tools? Ofc I could just write some bash myself and add to that as the time goes on, but there has to be a better way.
