kys, and then ko’s

Bingo, exactly this. I said 80 because that’s typically what I see our projects get to after writing actually useful tests. But if your coverage is 80% and it’s all just tests verifying that a constant is still set to whatever value, then yeah, thats a useless metric.

Is it just me, or are google’s results turning into pure shit lately?

80%. Much beyond that and you get into a decreasing return on the investment of making the tests.
