+## Collecting code coverage
+
+When Node.js is started with the [`--test-coverage`][] command-line flag, code
+coverage is collected and statistics are reported once all tests have completed.
+If the [`NODE_V8_COVERAGE`][] environment variable is used to specify a
+code coverage directory, the generated V8 coverage files are written to that
+directory. Node.js core modules and files within `node_modules/` directories
+are not included in the coverage report. If coverage is enabled, the coverage
+report is sent to any [test reporters][] via the `'test:coverage'` event.
+
+Coverage can be disabled on a series of lines using the following
+comment syntax:
+
+```js
+/* node:coverage disable */
+if (anAlwaysFalseCondition) {
+  // Code in this branch will never be executed, but the lines are ignored for
+  // coverage purposes. All lines following the 'disable' comment are ignored
+  // until a corresponding 'enable' comment is encountered.
+  console.log('this is never executed');
+}
+/* node:coverage enable */
+```
+
+Coverage can also be disabled for a specified number of lines. After the
+specified number of lines, coverage will be automatically reenabled. If the
+number of lines is not explicitly provided, a single line is ignored.
+
+```js
+/* node:coverage ignore next */
+if (anAlwaysFalseCondition) { console.log('this is never executed'); }
+
+/* node:coverage ignore next 3 */
+if (anAlwaysFalseCondition) {
+  console.log('this is never executed');
+}
+```
+
+The test runner's code coverage functionality has the following limitations,
+which will be addressed in a future Node.js release:
+
+* Although coverage data is collected for child processes, this information is
+  not included in the coverage report. Because the command line test runner uses
+  child processes to execute test files, it cannot be used with `--test-coverage`.
+* Source maps are not supported.
+* Excluding specific files or directories from the coverage report is not
+  supported.
