Clarify the differences in code coverage calculations features
Release notes
Problem to solve
We have 3 places within a project that calculate code coverage:
- Coverage badge on project home page (example) - coverage of most recent pipeline or job
- Project code coverage page (example) - most recent coverage(s) by day
- Project quality summary code coverage (example) - most recent pipeline that ran code coverage for the default branch
#1 (closed) actually links to #2 (closed) when you want to see the full report, but I wouldn't know how those 2 connect if I didn't go to the project quality summary
first.
Proposal
It may help to add descriptions in tooltips/as text to each of these to explain how they are calculated. This could also help the user understand why data wouldn't be populating.
