Discuss BCS CTFL4 Exam Topic 4 Question 2

Which of the following best describes the way in which statement coverage is measured?

AMeasured as the number of decision outcomes executed by the tests, divided by the total number of decision outcomes in the test object.

BIt is not possible to accurately measure statement coverage.

CMeasured as the number of statements executed by the tests, divided by the total number of executable statements in the code.

DMeasured as the number of lines of code executed by the test, divided by the total number of lines of code in the test object.

Suggested Answer: C

Statement coverage is a metric used in white-box testing that measures the percentage of executable statements in the code that have been executed by the test cases. It is calculated as the number of statements executed by the tests divided by the total number of executable statements in the code, providing an indication of how much of the code has been tested.

C is spot on, no doubt about it!

D seems too simplistic, I agree with C.

Wait, is B really a thing? That sounds off.

I thought it was A for sure.

It's definitely C, that's how statement coverage works!

I’m a bit confused; I thought statement coverage was about lines of code, but now I’m not sure if that’s what D is saying.

I feel like statement coverage is more about decision outcomes, but that might be for branch coverage instead.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think it was definitely about the number of statements executed. So, C sounds right to me.

I think statement coverage is about measuring executed statements, but I'm not sure if it's option C or D.

Sheron 1 year ago

I remember learning about statement coverage in class. I'm pretty sure it's measured by the number of statements executed divided by the total number of executable statements. So I'll go with option C.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of these options. Aren't statements and lines of code the same thing? How is statement coverage different from line coverage? I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Okay, let me think this through. Statement coverage is about how much of the code is actually run by the tests, right? So it's not about decision outcomes or lines of code, it's specifically about the number of statements executed. I'll go with C.

I think the answer is C - statement coverage is measured as the number of statements executed by the tests, divided by the total number of executable statements in the code.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know statement coverage has to do with how much of the code is executed by the tests, but I'm not confident I can pick the right description from these options.

Okay, let me review the key logical backup options for Oracle11g. I think I've got this, but I'll verify my answers before submitting.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. I'll need to re-read it a few times and consider the different options before making a decision.
