What Is Statement Coverage

Statement coverage is a white box test design technique that includes execution of all executable statements at least once in the source code. It is used to calculate and measure the number of statements in the source code, which can be performed according to the requirements.

Statement Coverage is (Number of executed statements/Total number of statements) * 100

Statement coverage is a white box test design technique that includes execution of all executable statements at least once in the source code. This is useful in calculating and measuring the number of statements in the source code, which can be performed according to the requirements.

Also, the test of the statement is related to using a loop in the software by referring to the software code or control flow chart.

Different test cases can be used to use loops once and twice more. It can be done regardless of the functionality of the software.

Structural based testing is also known as 'code coverage technique' which can be used for all levels of testing. Developers use structural based techniques in unit testing or component testing or module testing, component integration testing.

Testing can help in revealing a mistake or defect when the execution of that compatible defective element causes failure. For example, if there is a mistake in the statement of source code in line 10, then it may appear in test cases, who have potential code or test data that blames the source code details.

Usually, in any software, if we look at the source code, there will be a wide variety of elements included in operators, functions, looping, extraordinary handlers and etc. But there are a set of instructions for doing one task. All possible paths, lines, and statements should be covered in relation to the work.

Any Missing Statement in the code is not covered via the Statement Coverage Technique. And any unused code or unused branches or dead code are covered under this for sure.
