+# Developer Guide
+
+This guide provides technical information for developers working on the MathCAT codebase.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To develop MathCAT, you need to have Rust installed. If you haven't already:
+
+1. [Download and install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
+2. Clone the MathCAT repository
+3. Open the project directory in your IDE
+
+## Working with Cargo
+
+Cargo is Rust's build system and package manager. Here are the essential commands you'll use:
+
+### Building the Project
+
+```bash
+# Build the project in debug mode
+cargo build
+
+# Build the project in release mode (optimized)
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+### Running the Project
+
+```bash
+# Run the main executable
+cargo run
+
+# Run with specific arguments
+cargo run -- <args>
+```
+
+### Managing Dependencies
+
+Dependencies are defined in `Cargo.toml`. Cargo automatically downloads and manages them.
+
+```bash
+# Update dependencies to their latest compatible versions
+cargo update
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Testing is crucial for maintaining code quality and ensuring that changes don't break existing functionality.
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+cargo test
+
+# Run a specific test
+cargo test test_name
+```
+
+### Writing Tests
+
+Tests in MathCAT verify that MathML expressions produce the expected speech output. Example:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_simple_fraction() {
+    let expr = "<math>
+                    <mfrac>
+                        <mn>1</mn>
+                        <mn>2</mn>
+                    </mfrac>
+                </math>";
+    test("en", "SimpleSpeak", expr, "1 half");
+}
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+Test coverage helps identify which parts of the code are exercised by tests and which parts need more testing.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Using grcov on macOS</summary>
+
+This approach uses `llvm-cov` and `grcov` to generate test coverage reports. Other operating systems should also work with [grcov](https://github.com/mozilla/grcov), but may require some adjustments regarding LLVM paths and configuration.
+
+**One-time setup:**
+
+```bash
+# Install required components
+rustup component add llvm-tools-preview
+cargo install grcov
+```
+
+**Generate coverage report:**
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variable for profiling data
+export LLVM_PROFILE_FILE="target/coverage/%p-%m.profraw"
+
+# Run tests with coverage instrumentation
+RUSTFLAGS="-Cinstrument-coverage" cargo test
+
+# Example: Run a single test
+# RUSTFLAGS="-Cinstrument-coverage" cargo test Languages::zh::tw::units::without_prefix_powers_of_2
+
+# Generate HTML report
+grcov . \
+  --source-dir . \
+  --binary-path ./target/debug/deps \
+  -t html \
+  --branch \
+  --ignore-not-existing \
+  --ignore "target/*" \
+  -o target/coverage/html
+
+# Open the report in your browser
+open target/coverage/html/index.html
+```
+
+</details>
+
+**Alternative: IDE Integration**
+
+Many Rust IDEs provide built-in test coverage support, like RustRover or VSCode.

 The `tests` directory is similar to the `Rules` directory. If you are a translator, see the section above that describes what you should do.
 
+Rust provides testing support with the command `cargo test`. For more information about testing and test coverage, see the [Developer Guide](developers.md).
