    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
