Coverage only indicates which parts of the codebase were touched by the test suite. A big test suite size doesn't mean high coverage. Coverage can be increased

Coverage can be increased without increasing the test suite by reducing the code base size (within pratical limits obviously)
Personally, I only find coverage as a good indicator of which code still needs to be tested, like forgetting some edge cases or conditional branches.
