Choosing what module you want to increase test coverage for can be done in a
2222
couple of ways.
23-
A third-party website at http://coverage.livinglogic.de/ provides an
24-
overall view of how good coverage is for various modules (you will want to
25-
focus on those in the ``Lib`` directory as those are the pure Python modules
26-
from Python's stdlib, and thus easier to work with than the C extension
27-
modules). But since this is a third-party site we cannot promise that it will
28-
always be accessible or have useful information (i.e., be working properly).
23+
You can simply run the entire test suite yourself with coverage turned
24+
on and see what modules need help. This has the drawback of running the entire
25+
test suite under coverage measuring which takes some time to complete, but you
26+
will have an accurate, up-to-date notion of what modules need the most work.

Another is to follow the examples below and simply see what
3129
coverage your favorite module has. This is "stabbing in the dark", though, and
3230
so it might take some time to find a module that needs coverage help.

Do make sure, though, that for any module you do decide to work on that you run
4033
coverage for just that module. This will make sure you know how good the
4134
explicit coverage of the module is from its own set of tests instead of from
