-Tests can be run instrumented with jacoco to produce a coverage report in
-`target/site/jacoco/`.
+Generating test coverage reports for Elasticsearch is currently not possible through Gradle.
+However, it _is_ possible to gain insight in code coverage using IntelliJ's built-in coverage 
+analysis tool that can measure coverage upon executing specific tests. Eclipse may also be able
+to do the same using the EclEmma plugin.

+Test coverage reporting used to be possible with JaCoCo when Elasticsearch was using Maven
+as its build system. Since the switch to Gradle though, this is no longer possible, seeing as
+the code currently used to build Elasticsearch does not allow JaCoCo to recognize its tests.
+For more information on this, see the discussion in https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/28867[issue #28867].
