Hai Manoj,

Statement coverage measures the number of lines executed. Code that has 100% statement coverage could easily contain defects.

Branch coverage measures the number of executed branches. A branch is an outcome of a decision, so an if statement, for example, has two branches (True and False). Code that has 100% branch coverage can still contain errors.

Path coverage more aptly put, data path coverage. This is a measure of the number of paths that contain defined data. This metric is a combination of cyclomatic complexity and data-flow paths. The reason these metrics are combined is to provide a very robust level of coverage not seen in either branch nor statement coverage.

Path Testing:- Attempting to cover all the paths in the s/w is called path testing.

Branch Coverage Testing:- The simplest form of path testing is called branch coverage testing.

Hi All,

Path Testing: here Path is fix or define.

Branch Testing: Here there can be N number of combinatoins/ folws.
