+There's a Makefile with useful shortcuts to build the project in the "build/"
+directory:
+
+    make build
+
+This command makes a CMake build directory in build/cmake/ and executes `make`
+there.
+
+The default is to build using clang in `Debug` configuration.
+You can choose a different compiler and configuration like so:
+
+    make build COMPILER=gcc CONFIGURATION=Release
+
+### Testing
+
+After building, you can run the "test suite" (depends on Pytest).
+
+    make test
+
+### Code coverage
+
+You can generate a code coverage report (depends on `gcovr`) in
+build/coverage/:
+
+    make coverage
+
+The latest code coverage report for the `master` branch can be found at
+https://egor-tensin.github.io/cimple/coverage/.
+
+### Flame graphs
+
+Some performance analysis can be done by looking at flame graphs.
+Generate them after building the project (depends on `perf` & [FlameGraph]):
+
+    make test/perf
+
+[FlameGraph]: https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph
+
+This will generate two flame graphs in build/flame_graphs/; they stress
+slightly different parts of the system:
+
+* [flame_graph_output_simple.svg] for a CI script with short output,
+* [flame_graph_output_long.svg] for a CI script with long output.

-### Code style
-
-Set up the git pre-commit hook by running `./scripts/setup-hooks.sh`.
-This depends on `clang-format` and won't allow you to commit code that doesn't
-pass the formatting check.
