A research on testing technology of modified condition/decision coverage
Tang You-ning · Jisuanji gongcheng yu sheji · 2003
Compared with statement coverage, decision coverage, condition coverage, condition/decision coverage and multiple condition coverage, path coverage has a stronger coverage criterion rate, but it requires much more test cases. In fact, it is not useful in practice. In recent years, a newer and more excellent structure coverage criterion-modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) emerges at the right time. It inherits the merits of multiple condition and only linearly adds the quantity of test cases at the same time, so it is widely used in many kinds of important software, especially in the aviation equipment software, which is characterized as being embedded and real time. This paper presents its characteristics, design methods, evaluation strategies and engineering applications.
