 For developers who need to wrap C libraries so that they can be called from Julia, the [Clang.jl](https://github.com/ihnorton/Clang.jl) package can help generate the wrappers automatically from the C header files.
 
+### Writing tests
+
+There are never enough tests. Track [code coverage at Coveralls](https://coveralls.io/r/JuliaLang/julia), and help improve it.
+
+1. Go visit https://coveralls.io/r/JuliaLang/julia.
+
+2. Browse through the source files and find some untested functionality (highlighted in red) that you think you might be able to write a test for.
+
+3. Write a test that exercises this functionality---you can add your test to one of the existing files, or start a new one, whichever seems most appropriate to you. If you're adding a new test file, make sure you include it in the list of tests in `test/runtests.jl`. http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/stdlib/test/ may be helpful in explaining how the testing infrastructure works. Submit the test as a pull request (see [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)).
+
+[Issue 9493](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/9493) has a more detailed discussion on code coverage.

+### Git Recommendations For Pull Requests
 
  - Avoid working from the `master` branch of your fork, creating a new branch will make it easier if Julia's `master` changes and you need to update your pull request.
  - Try to [squash](http://gitready.com/advanced/2009/02/10/squashing-commits-with-rebase.html) together small commits that make repeated changes to the same section of code so your pull request is easier to review, and Julia's history won't have any broken intermediate commits. A reasonable number of separate well-factored commits is fine, especially for larger changes.
