@mrserb I updated the testing documentation. I also included the other JCov flags that have been added but not documented. I hope you think it looks okay.

With regard to the versions, I don't think I'd like to put that in the source code or test readme file. Such information tends to be quickly outdated and forgotten to be updated. Maybe the wiki can be used instead?
