 ```
+## A note on unit testing
+When running tests, coverage information (provided via Istanbul) will also be written into the ```coverage/``` directory. If you do not need this, just comment out or remove the section in ```karma.conf``` like this:
+
+```javascript
+/* do not use coverage reporting!
+coverageReporter: {
+  type: 'html',
+  dir: 'coverage/'
+}*/
+```
+
+Also, you should adjust your webpack test configuration (located in ```cfg/test.js```) to reflect this:
+
+```javascript
+/* Uncomment this to prevent loading via isparta
+{
+  test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
+  loader: 'babel-loader',
+  include: [
+    path.join(__dirname, '/../src')
+  ],
+  loader: 'isparta'
+}*/
