Modified condition/decision coverage
Modified condition/decision coverage is a way to test software programs to make sure they work correctly. When we write computer programs, we use things called "if" statements to make decisions. These "if" statements are like forks in a road where the program can go one way or another based on certain conditions.
Modified condition/decision coverage testing is like giving the program a special kind of test to make sure it is working properly. This test is like a game where we try to visit all the different paths in the program.
Imagine you have a toy robot and you want it to move in different directions based on some conditions. You give the robot instructions like "if the button is pressed, move forward" and "if the button is not pressed, turn left." This is similar to how a computer program works.
Now, let's say we want to test our robot and make sure it follows all the instructions correctly. We want to make sure it will move forward when the button is pressed and turn left when the button is not pressed.
To test this, we need to visit all the possible paths the robot can take based on the conditions. In this case, we have two conditions - whether the button is pressed or not - and two possible paths: one where the button is pressed and the robot moves forward, and another where the button is not pressed and the robot turns left.
In modified condition/decision coverage testing, we make sure that each condition has been tested both when it is true and when it is false. So, we need to test the robot by pressing the button and making sure it moves forward, and then by not pressing the button and making sure it turns left.
This helps us find any mistakes or problems in our program. If we don't test both conditions, we might miss a bug where the robot doesn't turn left when the button is not pressed, for example.
To summarize, modified condition/decision coverage testing is a way to test computer programs by making sure that all the different conditions and paths in the program are tested. It's like playing a game with the program to see if it follows all the instructions correctly.
