It can be seen that branch testing works best with a structural specification for the unit
2.
Cobertura calculates coverage both by the number of lines tested and by the number of branches tested
3.
It provides a thorough test of complex conditions , an area of frequent programming and design error and an area , which is not addressed , by branch testing
4.
As for branch testing , it is important for test designers to beware that concentrating on conditions could distract a test designer from the overall functionality of a unit
5.
A structural unit specification will enable branch test cases to be designed to achieve decision coverage , but a purely functional unit specification could lead to coverage gaps
6.
There are ranges of test case design techniques , which fall under the general title of condition testing , all of which endeavor to mitigate the weaknesses of branch testing when complex logical conditions are encountered
7.
In discussing the service - based testing technologies , the block �� s branch testing pattern is put forward by decomposing the complicated conditions of the class source codes . in discussing the state - based testing technologies , the idea of extending the states of child class is put forward . according to idea of the object state model , the object state testing model is put forward based on the source codes , which realize to construct the test - related object state sketches from the source codes
