Question

One of the exit criteria for a SW project was defined as "80% statement coverage". A test manager submitted the following report:

"We did not measure the statement coverage. However, we ensured 80% branch coverage, therefore the exit criteria was met". Is the test manager right?

  • CNo. The relation works the other way. 80% statement coverage guarantees 80% branch coverage
  • DYes. Coverage of 80% of the branches in the control flow guarantees 80% statement coverage.
