If so, please execute Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned and try again.
gcovr is used to measure the test coverage
change into the build directory and execute:
gcovr -r <source directory> -e <source directory>/test --object-dir=. --branches --html-details -o coverage.html
-r tells where sources are -e excludes a directory --object-dir where to find the compiled object files
