Front 1

structure-based technique (aka: white-box or code-based test technique)

Back 1

Procedure to derive and/or select test cases based on an analysis of the internal structure of a component or system.

Front 2

statement testing:

Back 2

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute

statements.

Front 3

Statement coverage

Back 3

The percentage of executable statements that have been exercised by a test suite.

Front 4

Branch coverage

Back 4

The percentage of branches that have been exercised by a test suite.

Implies both 100% decision coverage and 100% statement coverage.

Front 5

Decision

Back 5

A program point at which the control flow has two or more alternative routes. A

node with two or more links to separate branches

Front 6

Predicate

Back 6

A statement that can evaluate to true or false and may be used to determine the control

flow of subsequent decision logic. See also decision.

Front 7

Condition testing

Back 7

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute

condition outcomes.

Front 8

Atomic condition

Back 8

A condition that cannot be decomposed, i.e., a condition that does not contain two

or more single conditions joined by a logical operator (AND, OR, XOR).

Front 9

Control flow testing

Back 9

APPROACH to structure-based testing in which test cases are designed to

execute specific sequences of events. Various techniques exist for control flow testing, e.g.,

decision testing, condition testing, and path testing, that each have their specific approach and

level of control flow coverage. See also decision testing, condition testing, path testing

Front 10

Decision coverage

Back 10

The percentage of decision outcomes that have been exercised by a test

suite. 100% decision coverage implies both 100% branch coverage and 100% statement

coverage.

Front 11

Decision condition testing

Back 11

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to

execute decision outcomes.

Front 12

Short-circuiting

Back 12

A programming language/interpreter technique for evaluating compound conditions

in which a condition on one side of a logical operator may not be evaluated if the condition on the

other side is sufficient to determine the final outcome

Front 13

Modified Condition Decision Coverage (MCDC)

Back 13

The percentage of all single condition outcomes that

independently affect a decision outcome that have been exercised by a test case suite.

100% modified condition decision coverage implies 100% decision condition coverage

Front 14

Multiple condition testing

Back 14

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to

execute combinations of single condition outcomes (within one statement).

Front 15

Path testing

Back 15

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute paths

Front 16

Control flow path\PATH

Back 16

A white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute paths
