GO!
1. Change the angular.json
Open the angular.json file in the root folder of your Angular project.
Scroll to the test section and add the codeCoverage: true line.
Like this.
"test": {

Using the Mocha reporter to make your Angular tests prettier and more readable. 😄
Some Angular developers grumble about the jumbled output that appears in the terminal when they test their Angular applications.
They want a nicer report that’s easier to understand at a glance….
So…
Karma Mocha Reporter to the rescue!
Once installed and configured, here’s what the outputs will look like.
