+## Quality Assurance
+
+NioFlow maintains a rigorous testing strategy to ensure framework stability and security. All pull requests are gated by a **JaCoCo coverage check** in the build pipeline.
+
+### Current Test Coverage (v1.4.0)
+
+| Package | Instruction Coverage | Branch Coverage | Focus |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `.protocol` | ~89% | ~89% | HTTP Parsing & Smuggling defenses |
+| `.routing` | ~85% | ~80% | Route matching & parameter extraction |
+| `.middleware` | ~85% | ~80% | Auth, RateLimit, Metrics |
+| `.util` | ~92% | ~85% | JSON, Env, Internal helpers |
+| `.plugin` | ~75% | ~70% | StaticFiles, HealthChecks |
+| **TOTAL** | **83.44%** | **71.69%** | **Project Baseline** |
+
+### Running Tests locally
+To execute the full test suite and generate a coverage report:
+```bash
+mvn clean test
+```
+The report is generated at `nioflow-framework/target/site/jacoco/index.html`.
