+Testing
+-------
+
+  Unit tests for SysDB are shipped along with the source code in the ‘t’
+  subdirectory. Run ‘make test’ to run all available tests.
+
+  Some tests require the ‘fopencookie’ function as provided by the GNU libc
+  library. It used used to mock I/O related functions. In case this function
+  is not available, the respective tests will be disabled automatically.
+
+  Code coverage testing using Gcov may be enabled when using the
+  ‘--enable-gcov’ configure option.
