How can I generate a coverage report in XML format using Python?

You can use the coverage module in Python to generate coverage reports. First, install it using pip install coverage. Then, run your tests with coverage tracking and generate the XML report using the command coverage xml.

What if I want to customize the output of the XML report?

You can customize the output by using the --omit option to exclude certain files or directories. For example, coverage xml --omit='tests/*' will exclude the tests directory from the report.

Can I view the coverage report in a more readable format?

Yes, you can generate an HTML report using coverage html. This will create an htmlcov directory with a more user-friendly view of your coverage.

Is there a way to integrate this with CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely! You can add the coverage commands to your CI/CD configuration file to automatically generate reports during your build process.
