The gcov/lcov are a common toolchain for visualizing code coverage with
the GNU/Toolchain. The documentation and implementation of this
integration was heavily inspired from the blog entry by Mike Melanson:

+@subsection Visualizing Test Coverage
+
+The Libav build system provides means for visualizing the test coverage
+leveraging the coverage tools @code{gcov}/@code{lcov} in an easy manner.
+This involves the following steps:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+   Configure to compile with instrumentation enabled:
+   @code{configure --toolchain=gcov}.
+@item
+   Run your test case, either manually or via FATE.
+@item
+   Run @code{make lcov} to generate coverage data in HTML format
+@item
+   View @code{lcov/index.html} in your preferred HTML viewer.
+@end enumerate
+
+You can use the command @code{lcov --directory . --zerocounters} to
+reset the coverage measurements. You will need to rerun @code{make lcov}
+after running a new test.
