# Cover Reports

Introduction to Cover Reports

Diffblue Cover Reports is a visualization tool for test coverage statistics, coverage risk, testability, and more. Get valuable insights about your Java codebase - pinpoint unique, actionable insights that improve quality and efficiency. The topics provided here are targeted at three main user types:

* [**Reports Administrator**](/features/cover-reports/cover-reports-administrator.md) - system administrator responsible for install, update, config, and general maintenance.
* [**Reports User**](/features/cover-reports/cover-reports-user.md) - a senior developer or manager who will access the Cover Reports UI to monitor and manage test coverage.
* [**Reports Contributor** ](/features/cover-reports/cover-reports-contributor.md)- a software developer and/or CI/CD admin who will upload reports data (bundles) during code development.

Cover Reports is installed as a server side web application, the UI is accessed via a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox), and reports data is generated and uploaded using Cover CLI and/or Cover Pipeline.
