 In iceoryx we have multiple test levels for test coverage: `unit`, `integration`, `component` and `all` for all test levels together. You can create reports for these different test levels or for all tests. Coverage is done with gcc.
 The coverage scan applies to Quality [level 3](#quality-level-3) and partly [level 2](#quality-level-2) with branch coverage.
