From The Developer Society

The triangle works like this. There are three key points: good, fast, and cheap. Your project can be any two of these but never all three.

Fast + good = expensive

Good + cheap = not happening anytime soon

How to remove code coverage highlighting from your code

In Visual Studio, there is an option called "Analyze Code Coverage for All Tests" in the Test menu. After running that, the code is colored to allow you to see which sections are covered by tests or not. 

You can view previous code coverage results from the Test\Code Coverage Results menu item. In this pane, you can turn off the coloring by clicking the "Show Code Coverage Coloring" button.
