Statement and branch testing

A measure of test coverage criteria is the percentage of user requirements covered.

Test coverage criteria can be measured in terms of items exercised by a test suite.

A measure of test coverage criteria is the percentage of faults found.

Test coverage criteria are often used when specifying test completion criteria.

find as many faults as possible.

test high risk areas.
