Description

I apologize if I missed this, and I'm sure it will become immediately obvious once I begin using it, but what exactly makes the "Coveralls Check" fail?

  1. Does it fail anytime new coverage is less than existing coverage?
  2. Does it have any other criteria?
  3. Can the criteria be modified?

It may be worth mentioning, if (1) is true, that is exactly what I'm looking for.

I am trying to make a business case to migrate us onto Coveralls, and I don't know what causes the GitHub check to fail by simply reading your documentation.

A simple bulleted of "the rules" is all I need, and I think it would also make a great addition to your README.

Research direction

Start with the README section describing the Coveralls Check and verify how its pass/fail behavior is currently documented. Add a short bulleted list covering whether lower coverage fails, any other criteria, and whether those criteria can be changed; done means a reader can answer all three questions from the README.
