Ya, that was one of my first thoughts and it does make things simpler. But
I wanted developers to be able to get instant coverage feedback at their
desktop to shorten the write test/check coverage cycle. We have high MC/DC
coverage goals and as you start to approach 100% coverage it's not always
obvious what conditions/decisions are the missing coverage. I also want to
keep the usage simple and consistent meaning that code coverage and static
analysis reports should be available as a build target (e.g. `make
coverage_report coverity_report`)
