 ## Known issues
 
 If you're using Windows and plan to run PDF tests, we **strongly** recommend also `pdftotext`. We experienced problems running tests without this. The best approach to do this is through [conda](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/windows.html) (click [here](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pdftotext) to find out how to install this package with conda).

+
+## Code Coverage  
+
+Code coverage helps ensure that our tests cover a sufficient portion of the codebase.  
+Our goal is to maintain at least **80% coverage** as reported by our coverage tools.  
+
+### Running Coverage Locally  
+
+To check coverage locally, use:  
+
+```bash
+pytest --cov=cve_bin_tool --cov-report=html test/{TEST_FILE}.py
