Advantages of Path Testing
- The path testing method reduces the redundant tests.
- Path testing focuses on the logic of the programs.
- Path testing is used in test case design.
Path Testing in Software Engineering
Path Testing is a method that is used to design the test cases. In the path testing method, the control flow graph of a program is designed to find a set of linearly independent paths of execution. In this method, Cyclomatic Complexity is used to determine the number of linearly independent paths and then test cases are generated for each path.
It gives complete branch coverage but achieves that without covering all possible paths of the control flow graph. McCabe’s Cyclomatic Complexity is used in path testing. It is a structural testing method that uses the source code of a program to find every possible executable path.
