+Debugging and Coverage information
+==================================
+
+.. _gdb-ref:
+
+
+Debugging with GDB
+------------------
+
+In one terminal do:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ ./simple.c.bin --debug
+    Process simple.c.bin created; pid = 20803
+    Listening on port 1234
+
+In another terminal connect to this debug session:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ gdb -q ./test
+    Reading symbols from ./test...done.
+    (gdb) target remote localhost:1234
+    Remote debugging using localhost:1234
+    0x00007ffff7dd9d90 in _start() from target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
+    (gdb) continue
+    ...
+    [Inferior 1 (process 25269) exited normally]
+    (gdb) q
+
+After ``continue`` the first test is run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
+    [RUN ] misc::failing
+    [----] /media/data/devel/Criterion/samples/simple.c:4: Assertion failed: The expression 0 is false.
+    [FAIL] misc::failing: (0,00s)
+
+    Child exited with status 0
+
+And a new process is created for the next test:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    Process /media/data/devel/Criterion/build/samples/simple.c.bin created; pid = 26414
+    Listening on port 1234
+
+Connect your remote debugger to this test with ``remote target localhost:1234``
+and run the test with ``continue``
+
+To use a different port use ``--debug --debug-transport=<port>``
+
+.. _coverage-ref:
+
+Coverage of Criterion tests
+---------------------------
+
+To use gcov, you have to compile your tests with the two GCC Options
+``-fprofile-arcs`` and ``–ftest-coverage``.
