+# OpenVINO IR Frontend tests
+
+OpenVINO IR tests cover the next frontend functionality: parser IRs, read model from the memory, and extensions support.
+
+## How to build and run tests
+
+CMake target `ov_ir_frontend_tests` is responsible for building IR tests. IR Frontend tests use the `gtest` framework for tests execution.
+
+After the build, `ov_ir_frontend_tests` (`ov_ir_frontend_tests.exe` for Windows) binary files can be used to run all tests for the IR frontend.
+
+To get a tests coverage report for the IR frontend, read the page on [measuring coverage](../../../../docs/dev/test_coverage.md).
