- To know whether we have enough testing in place
- To maintain the test quality over the life cycle of a project
- To know how well our tests actually test our code

Where to apply this test coverage in software testing?
The answer of the question is that 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. [Read more…] about Where to apply this test coverage in software testing?
What is test coverage in software testing? It’s advantages and disadvantages
Test coverage measures the amount of testing performed by a set of test. Wherever we can count things and can tell whether or not each of those things has been tested by some test, then we can measure coverage and is known as test coverage.

What is Structure-based technique in software testing?
Structure-based techniques serve two purposes: test coverage measurement and structural test case design.
- They are often used first to assess the amount of testing performed by tests derived from specification-based techniques, i.e. to assess coverage.
- They are then used to design additional tests with the aim of increasing the test coverage.
- Structure-based test design techniques are a good way of generating additional test cases that are different from existing tests.
- They can help ensure more breadth of testing, in the sense that test cases that achieve 100% coverage in any measure will be exercising all parts of the software from the point of view of the items being covered.
What is Exploratory testing in software testing? Examples, When/How to do, Agile
As its name implies, exploratory testing is about exploring, finding out about the software, what it does, what it doesn’t do, what works and what doesn’t work. The tester is constantly making decisions about what to test next and where to spend the (limited) time. This is an approach that is most useful when there are no or poor specifications and when time is severely limited.
Exploratory testing can be used in conjunction with other techniques.
