What is Condition coverage?
This is closely related to decision coverage but has better sensitivity to the control flow. However, full condition coverage does not guarantee full decision coverage.
- Condition coverage reports the true or false outcome of each condition.
- Condition coverage measures the conditions independently of each other.
Other control-flow code-coverage measures include linear code sequence and jump (LCSAJ) coverage, multiple condition coverage (also known as condition combination coverage) and condition determination coverage (also known as multiple condition decision coverage or modified condition decision coverage, MCDC). This technique requires the coverage of all conditions that can affect or determine the decision outcome.
What is Branch Coverage or Decision Coverage? Its advantages and disadvantages
- Branch coverage is also known as Decision coverage or all-edges coverage.
- It covers both the true and false conditions unlikely the statement coverage.

What are the types of coverage?
There are many types of test coverage. Test coverage can be used in any level of the testing. Test coverage can be measured based on a number of different structural elements in a system or component. Coverage can be measured at component testing level, integration-testing level or at system- or acceptance-testing levels. [Read more…] about What are the types of coverage?
How we can measure the coverage?
Coverage measurement of code is best done by using tools and there are a number of such tools on the market. These tools can help in:
- Increasing the quality and productivity of testing.
- Increasing quality by ensuring that more structural aspects are tested, so defects on those structural paths can be found.
- Increasing productivity and efficiency by highlighting tests that may be redundant, i.e. testing the same structure with different data (as there is possibility of finding the defects by testing the same structure with different data).
