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.

Definitely option C, that's how I've always understood it.

Wait, is it really just about lines of code? Sounds too simple.

No way, B can't be true. We can measure it!

Statement coverage is all about executed statements, right?

I vaguely recall that statement coverage is related to lines of code, but I can't remember if it's about executable statements or just any line of code.

I feel like I might be mixing up statement coverage with decision coverage. I need to double-check what exactly each one measures.

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

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

Okay, I think I've got this. Statement coverage is about measuring how much of the actual code is being executed by the tests, not just the lines of code. So it's the number of statements executed divided by the total number of executable statements, which matches option C. I'm feeling good about that one.

I'm not too confident on this one. I know statement coverage is related to the code, but I can't quite recall the exact definition. I'll have to review my notes and try to eliminate the options that don't sound right. Hopefully I can narrow it down and make an educated guess.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. Statement coverage is not about lines of code, but rather the number of executable statements that are covered by the tests. So option C is the right answer - it's the number of statements executed divided by the total number of executable statements.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know statement coverage has something to do with the number of lines of code executed, but I'm not sure if it's measured as the number of lines executed divided by the total lines, or something else. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure statement coverage is measured by the number of statements executed by the tests, divided by the total number of executable statements in the code. Option C seems to be the correct answer.

Statement coverage? More like 'statement hovercraft' am I right? *crickets*

I heard the test organizers are using a new statement coverage metric - the number of times the tester says 'wait, what?' during the exam.

Option A sounds like it's measuring decision coverage, not statement coverage. I'll go with C as the best answer here.

B? Are you kidding me? Of course it's possible to measure statement coverage. This question is a no-brainer!

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

I agree with Tonja, option A seems like the most logical way to measure statement coverage.

I think option A is correct, as it makes sense to measure based on decision outcomes.

Option D is clearly wrong. Line of code is not the same as a statement, so that's not a valid way to measure statement coverage.
