Study Notes
All Paths Coverage
- Requires each path in the program to be exercised by at least one test case
- Intuition: some faults may only be revealed by exercising a particular sequence of branches
- Example: function A() and function B() have a large number of paths (23 and 212 respectively)
Feasibility of All Paths Coverage
- Loops make it difficult to achieve All Paths Coverage
Statement Coverage
- Test requirement: each statement in the program is executed at least once
- Measures the number of executed statements against the total number of statements
- Example: a program with 10 statements, where 9 statements are executed, has 90% statement coverage
Branch Coverage
- Test requirement: each branch in the program is traversed at least once
- Measures the number of traversed branches against the total number of conditional branch edges
- Example 1: a program with two branches, where both branches are traversed, has 100% branch coverage
- Example 2: a program with two branches, where only one branch is traversed, requires more test cases to achieve 100% branch coverage
Basic Condition Coverage
- Test requirement: each basic condition in the program assumes all possible boolean values
- Measures the number of boolean values assumed by all basic conditions against the total number of boolean values
- Example: a program with a condition "if (x>0)" requires two test cases to achieve 100% basic condition coverage
Branch and Condition Coverage
- Test requirement: branches and truth values assumed by basic conditions
- Example: a program with a condition "if ( (a || b) && c )" requires four test cases to achieve 100% branch and condition coverage
Compound Condition Coverage
- Test requirement: all possible combinations of basic conditions
- Example: a program with a condition "if ( ( (a || b) && c ) || d ) && e)" requires a large number of test cases to achieve 100% compound condition coverage
