<p>To separate multiple keyword=value pairs, use <code>;</code> (semicolon). Since the shell normally eats <code>;</code>, the recommended usage is to write the assignment inside qoutes, e.g. <code>JTREG="...;..."</code>. This will also make sure spaces are preserved, as in <code>JTREG="VM_OPTIONS=-XshowSettings -Xlog:gc+ref=debug"</code>.</p>
<p>(Other ways are possible, e.g. using backslash: <code>JTREG=JOBS=1\;TIMEOUT=8</code>. Also, as a special technique, the string <code>%20</code> will be replaced with space for certain options, e.g. <code>JTREG=VM_OPTIONS=-XshowSettings%20-Xlog:gc+ref=debug</code>. This can be useful if you have layers of scripts and have trouble getting proper quoting of command line arguments through.)</p>
<p>As far as possible, the names of the keywords have been standardized between test suites.</p>
+<h3 id="general-keywords-test_opts">General keywords (TEST_OPTS)</h3>
+<p>Some keywords are valid across different test suites. If you want to run tests from multiple test suites, or just don't want to care which test suite specific control variable to use, then you can use the general TEST_OPTS control variable.</p>
+<p>There are also some keywords that applies globally to the test runner system, not to any specific test suites. These are also available as TEST_OPTS keywords.</p>

+<h4 id="jcov">JCOV</h4>
+<p>This keywords applies globally to the test runner system. If set to <code>true</code>, it enables JCov coverage reporting for all tests run. To be useful, the JDK under test must be run with a JDK built with JCov instrumentation (<code>configure --with-jcov=<path to directory containing lib/jcov.jar></code>, <code>make jcov-image</code>).</p>
+<p>The simplest way to run tests with JCov coverage report is to use the special target <code>jcov-test</code> instead of <code>test</code>, e.g. <code>make jcov-test TEST=jdk_lang</code>. This will make sure the JCov image is built, and that JCov reporting is enabled.</p>
+<p>The JCov report is stored in <code>build/$BUILD/test-results/jcov-output</code>.</p>
+<p>Please note that running with JCov reporting can be very memory intensive.</p>
