STATEMENT COVERAGE in software testing

In this type of testing the code is executed in such a manner that every

statement of the application is executed at least once. It helps in assuring that

all the statements execute without any side effect.This method is also called as

line coverage or segment coverage.

In statement coverage testing we make sure that all of our code blocks are

executed. We can also identify which blocks are failed to execute in this

method.

Still bugs may be there after executing all the blocks without any failure.

Because it wont check with all the conditions in a single block. Its only a basic

testing after the complete coding and dynamic analysis. For checking with every

conditions we need to to branch and path coverage testing.

There are several free tools available for conducting statement coverage

testing.
