+Unit tests
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Unit tests use the standard ``unittest`` package; you may run them using the
+standard ``setup.py`` command::
+
+   ./setup.py test
+
+Tests coverage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+I aim for 100% coverage on all of my Python packages whenever I add unit
+tests to them; this package is no exception. CI checks use the `coverage`_
+Python package and `codecov`_ to check for test coverage. To get test coverage
+data locally, run::
+
+   coverage run setup.py test
+
+You may then get a short coverage summary in your terminal::
+
+   coverage report
+
+Or generate an HTML report in a ``htmlcov`` folder, which can be browsed
+offline using your favorite web browser and shows line by line coverage::
+
+   coverage html
+
+If you are having issues reaching 100% coverage, try to still add some tests,
+and mention your issues when creating a pull request to the
+`GitLab repository`_.
