For this, you can use .coveragerc file as well:

Create a .coveragerc file in your project directory or configure an existing one. Specify exclude patterns under the [run] section to ignore certain paths or files from coverage analysis.

Example .coveragerc file content:

[run]
omit =
    */test_*
    */config.py

This configuration excludes files starting with “test_” and any config.py file under subdirectories from coverage reporting.
