+Sample to generate coverage data
+================================
+
+This directory contains a sample C++ project with test coverage capabilities using Bazel and GCC's gcov/lcov tools.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have the following tools installed:
+- Bazel
+- lcov (Linux Test Project coverage tools)
+
+On Ubuntu/Debian:
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install lcov
+```
+
+## Running Tests with Coverage
+
+### Step 1: Run tests with coverage collection
+
+To generate coverage data for the `all_tests` target, run:
+
+```bash
+$ bazel coverage --combined_report=lcov --subcommands -- //:all_tests
+```
+
+### Step 2: View coverage summary with lcov
+
+To get a quick coverage summary using lcov, you need to find the generated coverage files and use lcov:
+
+```bash
+$ lcov --summary --rc branch_coverage=1 bazel-out/_coverage/_coverage_report.dat
+Summary coverage rate:
+  lines......: 100.0% (10 of 10 lines)
+  functions..: 100.0% (2 of 2 functions)
+  branches...: 100.0% (4 of 4 branches)
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can use the coverage files directly from the bazel-out directory:
+
+```bash
+# Find all .gcno and .gcda files
+find -L bazel-out/ -name "*.gcda" -o -name "*.gcno" | head -10
+
+# Generate coverage info file
+lcov --capture --directory bazel-out --output-file coverage.info
+
+# Show coverage summary
+lcov --summary coverage.info
+```
