+Code coverage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Contributors are encouraged to run coverage on the test suite to identify areas
+that need additional tests. The coverage tool installation and use is described
+in :ref:`testing code coverage<topics-testing-code-coverage>`.
+
+To run coverage on the Django test suite using the standard test settings::
+
+ coverage run ./runtests.py --settings=test_sqlite
+
+After running coverage, generate the html report by running::
+
+ coverage html
+
+When running coverage for the Django tests, the included ``.coveragerc``
+settings file defines ``coverage_html`` as the output directory for the report
+and also excludes several directories not relevant to the results
+(test code or external code included in Django).
