+Output reports are written to `cover/excoveralls.json` by default, however, the path can be specified by overwriting the `"output_dir"` coverage option. Additionally, the filename can be specified using the `export` option under `test_coverage` in your `mix.exs` i.e.

+
+*Note:* the .json extension will be added automatically to the export name. Defaults to `excoveralls` if not specified.
