Code coverage is a very helpful tool to detect gaps in a test suite. In the previous episode, we enabled code coverage to learn how to write better unit tests for the APIClient class. The coverage report shows that the episodes() method is fully covered. It also reveals that the private request(_:) method lacks coverage. Even though the request(_:) method is private to the APIClient class, we can write unit tests to indirectly test it and increase coverage of the APIClient class. That is the focus of this episode.
