Section outline

  • Discussion Topics:

    • What is path coverage, and why is it challenging to achieve in complex systems?
    • How do quality metrics help evaluate the effectiveness of a testing process?
    • Discuss the role of quality metrics in ensuring software reliability.
    • How can path coverage be balanced with practical testing constraints?

    Lesson Summary: This week covers path coverage and quality metrics, focusing on their role in evaluating testing effectiveness. Students use C compilers for practical exercises, with assessments through lab performance, viva, and lab final, aligning with CLO2 (applying testing knowledge) and CLO3 (problem-solving through testing).
