testing Testing a program by examining which lines of
and also the ways of getting to each line of code and the
subsequent sequence of execution.
Path coverage testing is the most comprehensive type of
testing that a
test suite can provide. It can find more
bugs in a program, especially those that are caused by
datacoupling. However, path coverage is a testing level that is
very hard to achieve, and usually only small and/or critical
sections of code are checked in this way.
