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?

Unix bash scripting versus Python - any resources out there for comparisons?
Bash has a testing library. I think it's called BATS (not builtin though).

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.

If you were as confused as I was where "run" is defined and how "output" gets set, and what the heck the bats extension is:
(1) and (2) are answered here:

terracove - open-source to instantly test the health of your terraform/terragrunt repository
What it does in parallel is basically init/plan/show using terratest on every subdirectory on your repository tree or provided paths. The output is either a JSON summary or a custom made Junit XML test file you can ingest into your tests reader. It took it around 8 minutes to map the entirety of our bloated repository.

Trunk Based Development: Confused about how to test code before pushing to main? How does the deploy process work for many environments?
You could deploy to a separate account (usually dev first), you can use terratest, you could try something like LocalStack. I dare say there’s other methods.

terratest for infrastructure
Was wondering if anyone has tried https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest to test their infrastructure. I like it because I can write golang tests! Thats a big plus for me.
