Basis path testing is a hybrid between path testing and branch testing: 
 
Path Testing: Testing designed to execute all or selected paths 
through a computer program  
 
Branch Testing: Testing designed to execute each outcome of 
each decision point in a computer program  
 
Basis Path Testing: Testing that fulfills the requirements of 
branch testing & also tests all of the independent paths that 
could be used to construct any arbitrary path through the 
computer program 
 
A path through the software is a sequence of instructions or statements that starts at an entry, junction, or decision and ends at another, or possibly the same, junction, decision, or exit. A path may go through several junctions, processes, or decisions, one or more times.

This method enables the designer to derive a logical complexity measure of a procedural design and use it as a guide for defining a basis set of execution paths. Test cases that exercise the basis set are guaranteed to execute every statement in the program at least once during testing.

 Basis Path Testing: Execution of all possible blocks in a program.To verify

the execution of every statement in that program.

Step for Progam Runing:

prepare program depending on design  document.

Draw flow graph for that program.

calculate cyclomatic complexity.(No of Independent paths in that program)

Run program more than one time to cover each Independent

path execution.

Basic path testing is how to reach to the particular destination for testing. 
This can also have path from and path to.
Path from is the Path to the screen or to the object for what the testing will be done?
