+Testing
+=======
+
+All the mitmproxy projects strive to maintain 100% code coverage. In general,
+patches and pull requests will be declined unless they're accompanied by a
+suitable extension to the test suite.
+
+Our tests are written for the `py.test`_ or nose_ test frameworks.
+At the point where you send your pull request, a command like this:
+
+>>> py.test -n 4 --cov libmproxy
+
+Should give output something like this:
+
+.. code-block:: none

+There are exceptions to the coverage requirement - for instance, much of the
+console interface code can't sensibly be unit tested. These portions are
+excluded from coverage analysis either in the **.coveragerc** file, or using
+**#pragma no-cover** directives. To keep our coverage analysis relevant, we use
+these measures as sparingly as possible.
