There are two major types of White box testing techniques: Statement coverage testing and branch coverage testing.
STATEMENT COVERAGE TESTING:
Statement coverage type of white box software testing technique. It is called line or segment coverage testing. This testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. It is checked in true conditions it is verified for every line of statements. Consider an example:
Example 1:
Read A
Read B
If A > B then
x = 0
End if
To achieve 100% statement coverage we need to check only one test case here. We ensure that A value is greater than B for input values like A=14 and B=11. Here we check the structural design first as we are choosing input values to make certain the statement of coverage. The main disadvantage of this technique is here we cannot check the false condition of statements.
Example 2:
To check if number is greater than 50
Read A
If A > 50 then
print “A is greater than 50”
End if
In statement coverage testing, to achieve 100% statement coverage we check with value of A greater than 50.
In statement coverage testing, 100% statement coverage is said to be achieved if all the statements are tested at least once. This type of testing is usually performed by the developers using development tools.

Ans.: The difference between statement coverage & decision coverage:
• Statement coverage is called line or segment coverage testing BUT Decision testing is called branch testing.
• Statement testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. It is checked in true conditions it is verified for every line of statements BUT the decision testing is a process which checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various result
Ans.: Decision coverage is better than statement coverage because we can check both TRUE & FALSE condition of statement in decision coverage whereas we cannot check the FALSE condition of statement in statement coverage.
1.The difference between statement coverage and decision coverage:
* Statement coverage :This testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done.
*The main disadvantage of this technique is here we cannot check the false condition of statements.
*Decision coverage : The decision testing is a process which checks the behaviour of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results.
*In this technique we can check both pass and false condition of statements.
2.Decision Testing is better then statement coverage testing because in this technique we can check both pass and false condition of statements.
Statement coverage testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. It is checked in true conditions.it is checked in the true conditions only.
The decision testing is a process which checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results. It is also called as Branch Testing where the different types of inputs are supplied to check a particular condition
Decision testing is stronger /better since it checks both false /true condition.
The difference between statement coverage and decision coverage is that statement coverage tests 100% statement coverage at once. whereas, in decision coverage testing, all decisions and outputs are tested in true and false statement.
Decision coverage testing is better as its tests true and false statement.
Statement coverage testing: Here we check the structural design first as we choose input values to make certain statement of coverage. We check in true conditions & verify for every line of statement. We cannot check the false condition of statements.
Decision coverage testing: Various decisions and conditions in the codes are tested. Here, we test all the possible outcomes to 100 per decision coverage. Test cases should be written to cover both true and false conditions.
Decision coverage testing is better because it tests both the true and false conditions and tests all the possible outcomes to achieve the 100 per decision coverage.
Statement coverage testing is a white box type of testing. The testing only covers the TRUE value of the requirements just like in the example if A > 10 True. It does not care what if its less than 10.
Decision testing is more complex and more practical in a way. It tests all the possible inputs/outcomes of the requirements or conditions.
Decision testing is better than the statement because it covers all possibilities of TRUE and False conditions.
Statement coverage type of white box software testing technique. It is called line or segment coverage testing. This testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done.In statement coverage testing, 100% statement coverage is said to be achieved if all the statements are tested at least once.

The decision testing is a process which checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results. It is also called as Branch Testing where the different types of inputs are supplied to check a particular condition.
In the above two coverage decision coverage is better because here there is a possibility to know the true and false statements..
Statement coverage testing is testing the statements in the code whether it is written as it should that means it tests the structure of the code. It finds errors such as logical errors, missing statements etc. 100% statement coverage is achieved only when all statements at tested at least once.
Decision coverage testing is taking possible inputs and then testing various conditions such as true or false.
Decision coverage is better than statement coverage testing as it covers both true and false conditions unlike statement coverage testing which covers only true conditions.
Difference between Statement coverage & Decision coverage:
In statement coverage testing tests only true conditions while decision coverage testing tests both true and false conditions.
Decision coverage is better than statement coverage testing because decision coverage checks both true and false conditions of software. This method assures with false input software is not behaving abnormally.
1. Statement Coverage tests only for the true conditions whereas Decision Coverage tests for true and false conditions.
2. Decision coverage is better than Statement coverage because all conditions are not tested in Statement coverage.
Both Statement Coverage and Decision coverage Testing are White Box Testing, done by Developers. The difference between Statement and Decision testing is
In Statement testing we can only test the true conditions whereas in decision testing we can test both, true and false conditions.
The decision testing is better as it checks both the true and false conditions, checking the behaviour of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results.
In statement coverage it tests the true conditions of the code written
In decision testing it tests all the conditions true, false with all possible sets of input combinations.
This has 100% test coverage. Hence decision testing is preferred.
Decision coverage testing and statement coverage testing are both part of white box testing techniques.
Statement coverage is also called segment coverage or line coverage testing and it only test the true conditions and these test are done by developers but decision coverage tests are both true and false tests .It includes both the scenarios in different possibilities.
If the statement is true what is the out come and if the statement is wrong what is the outcome.
Statement Coverage Testing:It is type of white box testing.It is called line or segment testing coverage testing.It is done to the code written to test whether the code written qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done.
Decision Testing:It is also called branch testing.It is also a type of white box testing.It is a process which checks the behavior of the application by providing different combination of input and obtain various result.
Decision testing is better from both as it checks the process whether the result is true or false.
In statement coverage testing, 100% statement coverage is said to be achieved if all the statements are tested at least once. Meaning only the specified condition is tested once fulfilling the 100% statement coverage for the test case.
Whereas 100% decision coverage can be achieved when all the possible paths between start to end are covered. Meaning all “True or False” possible outcomes are tested to verify the behavior of the software.
What is difference between statement coverage and decision coverage
Which one is better? statement coverage or decision coverage? Why
Statement Coverage is said to make sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once.
Decision /branch Coverage is said to test that each branch/ output of a decisions is tested i.e. all statements in both false / true branches will be executed.
Decision coverage may be better than statement coverage because we can check both TRUE & FALSE condition.
• The statement coverage testing tests only one test case. It tests only the true values.
• The decision coverage testing tests from start to end of all test cases. It tests both the true and false values of inputs.
• The decision coverage testing is better than the statement coverage, since it tests all test cases.
In Statement testing the application is tested only with true scenario
where as in decision testing the application is tested with both true and false scenarios.
I feel decision testing is better because both true and false scenarios are executed.
The difference between statement coverage and decision coverage is :
Testing coverage is a segment coverage and deicsion coverage is a branch testing. Statement coverage is done to check if the code written is qualified. on the other hand the decision coverage is a process which check the behavior of the appplicatio by providing differents combinations of inputs and different results.
In decision testing we can check the true and false stetament. That makes it better coverage.
1.What is difference between statement coverage and Decision coverage.
The Statement coverage and decision coverage testing are two major types of White box testing.
Difference between Statement coverage and Decision coverage are:
• statement coverage testing also called line or segment coverage testing.
• This testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done.
• It only check the true conditions it is verified for every line of statements.
• To achieve 100% statement coverage we need to check only TRUE conditions in a flow chart
• The decision testing checks the behaviour of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results.
• also called as Branch Testing .
• the different types of inputs are supplied to check a particular condition.
• 100% decision coverage can be achieved when all the possible paths between start to end are covered.
2.Which one is better? statement coverage or decision coverage? Why?
The Decision Testing can be considered as better since it cover both the TRUE&FALSE scenarios in the flow chart diagram
Statement coverage: every statement in the code is executed at least once. We check only for true statement and not false statement.
Decision coverage: test each branch/output of a decisions is tested. All statements in both false/true branches will be executed.
The decision coverage cover all the areas where statement coverage did not cover.

What is difference between statement coverage and decision coverage
Which one is better? statement coverage or decision coverage? Why?
All statements are tested when executing the code in statement coverage or line coverage testing. This type of testing checks for logical errors, inconsistencies in code, dead code issues , memory leaks etc. In statement coverage 100% coverage can be achieved when all the lines in the statement are tested or covered.
In decision or branch or condition testing, all the decisions and conditions are tested. Here 100% decision coverage can be achieved only when all possible paths
( true and false conditions) are covered from start to the end.
Decision coverage testing is better because it tests both the true and false conditions where as in statement coverage testing only the true condition is verified. It doesn’t check the false conditions.
In statement coverage every statement in the code is executed at least once.
In decision or branch coverage ,here both false/true branches will be executed at least once.
Decision coverage is stronger than statement coverage and it requires more test case to achieve 100% decision coverage
100%. decision coverage guarantees 100% statement coverage but 100% statement coverage does not guarantee 100% decision coverage.
1)A difference between statement and decision coverage.:
• statement coverage testing also called line or segment coverage testing.
• This testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done.

• the different types of inputs are supplied to check a particular condition.
• 100% decision coverage can be achieved when all the possible paths between start to end are covered.
2)Decision coverage is better because it test both true and false condition. Statement coverage testing test only true condition.
STATEMENT TESTING is only one testing case tested. DECISION COVERAGE TESTING will do all the steps tested and it tests the truth and false conditions .
to avoid more defects in the software decision coverage is better
Decision Testing checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtaining various results. With different types of input, 100% descsion coverage can be achieved when all the possible paths between start to end are covered. Statement testing tests the True condition paths for every line of statements. The False conditions of statements is not checked/tested.
Decision Testing is the better method of testing because it tests more of the systems’s functionality and process. Through Decision Testing, more errors/issues will be discovered.
Statement coverage testing test only one case at a time by focusing on the true values while the decision coverage testing test every case by providing different combinations of input to obtain various results.
By comparing both statement coverage and decision coverage testing, I can say that, the decision coverage testing is better because it combines both true and false condition at a single case while statement coverage use only the true condition value. Therefore, decision coverage testing provides more accuracy and efficiency than the statement coverage testing.
Statement coverage is type of white box software testing technique. It is called line or segment coverage testing.
In statement coverage testing tests only true conditions while decision coverage testing tests both true and false conditions.
Decision testing is also called branch testing. It is test design technique for white box testing.
The decision coverage testing tests from start to end of all test cases.
The decision testing is better as it checks both the true and false conditions,
Statement coverage testing is a white box technique and also called as segment coverage testing. It is limited on testing the true condition of the statements.
Whereas, decision coverage testing also known as Branch Testing checks the behaviour of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results. It is where the different types of inputs are supplied to check a particular condition. Branch testing checks true and false statements so branch testing is better than statement coverage testing.
Both Statement Coverage and Decision coverage Testing are White Box Testing, done by Developers.
The statement coverage testing tests only one test case. It tests only the true values.
The decision coverage testing tests from start to end of all test cases. It tests both the true and false values of inputs.
The decision coverage testing is better than the statement coverage, since it tests all test cases.
Statement coverage is said to make sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once. This type of testing does not ensure coverage of all the functionality.
Decision/branch coverage is said to test that each branch/output of a decisions is tested, i.e. all statements in both false/true branches will be executed. In Statement coverage we need to execute all statements so I guess it can be only done by running all possible ways.
In the branch coverage we need to cover all the edges, which we missed in the statement coverage .
The decision testing is better than the Statement coverage, as it checks both the true and false conditions, checking the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results and covers all the edges to ensure the perfection.
STATEMENT COVERAGE TESTING
Statement coverage VS decision coverage
Decision testing is usually done by the developer to check the behavior of application. – This test done with different possibilities that way they obtain various results.
Statement coverage – only need to check on test case.
I think decision testing is better, because more possibilities are tested in which will get a better result in developing a software.

Statement coverage and Decision coverage are 2 types of white box testing. In statement coverage testing is done to ensure that every statement to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. It is checked in true conditions it is verified for every line of statements.
Branch testing on the other hand is different from statement testing in the sense that decision coverage testing tests from start to end of all test cases. It tests both the true and false values of inputs.
Branch testing tests the true or false values of inputs and hence is better that statement testing.
1.Statement coverage type of white box software testing technique. It is called line or segment coverage testing. This testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. It is checked in true conditions it is verified for every line of statements.
The decision testing is a process which checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results. It is also called as Branch Testing where the different types of inputs are supplied to check a particular condition.
2. Decision testing is better as we check both true and false conditions in contrast to the statement coverage where we check only the true conditions.
Since statement/ Line segment coverage testing is limited for the true values whereas decision/branch coverage testing is done for the both true or false values which gives more accuracy of the testing compare to statement coverage testing. In this regard decision coverage testing is better than statement coverage testing and both are types of white box testing and done by the developers
1. Statement coverage testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what is expected to be done.
Decision testing is a process which checks the behaviour of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results. It is also called branch testing.
2. Decision testing is better as we check with true and false conditions. Also this testing covers all the possible paths from start to end. Whereas statement coverage can check only one test case.
The decision testing is a process which checks the behaviour of the application by providing different combinations of
input and obtains various results, where decision coverage check in check the both valve true and false
Statement coverage testing is checking the true values only ( it checks only one test case)
Decision coverage is better because all the senarios are tested.
Statement Coverage involves in the execution of all the executable statements in the source code at least once.
Decision Coverage reports the true or false outcomes of each Boolean expression. In this coverage, expressions can sometimes get complicated. Therefore, it is hard to achieve 100% coverage.
Statement Coverage is better than Decision Coverage
What is difference between statement coverage and decision coverage:
Statement coverage is said to make sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once.
Decision/branch coverage is said to test that each branch/output of a decisions is tested, i.e. all statements in both false/true branches will be executed

Statement coverage is said to make sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once.
Decision/branch coverage is said to test that each branch/output of a decisions is tested, i.e. all statements in both false/true branches will be executed.
The Statement Coverage is a type of White-Box Testing technique, involving execution of all statements at least once. Statement coverage is a simple metric to calculate & measure the number of statements in a method or class which have been executed. Its key benefit is its ability to identify which blocks of code have not been executed.
The Branch Coverage is an outcome of a decision, and measures the number of decision outcomes or branches, which have been tested. This takes a more in-depth view of the source code rather than a simple Statement Coverage. A branch is an outcome of a decision. For example Boolean decisions like an “If – Statement”, has two outcomes or branches (i.e. True and False).
According to me, Decision coverage is better because it can test both true and false conditions and It also eliminate problems that occur with statement coverage testing.
What is difference between statement coverage and decision coverage?
The Statement coverage and decision coverage testing are two major types of White box testing.
Differences:
1.Statement coverage testing is aka line or segment coverage testing. Whereas, Decision coverage testing is aka Branch testing.
2.Statement Coverage testing finds out whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. This type of testing checks for logical errors, inconsistencies in code, dead code issues, memory leaks etc. Whereas, Decision Coverage Testing checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results.
3.In statement coverage testing, we cannot check the false condition of statements. However, in decision coverage testing technique we can check both true and false condition of statements.
4.To achieve 100% statement coverage, we need to check only TRUE conditions in a flow chart. Whereas, 100% decision coverage can be achieved when all the possible paths between start to end are covered.
Which one is better? statement coverage or decision coverage? Why?
Decision coverage is better than statement coverage testing as it covers both true and false conditions unlike statement coverage testing which covers only true conditions!
Statement coverage: Here every statement of the code is executed at least once. It covers only the true condition.
Branch coverage: Here all the statements in both false/true branches will be executed. It tests each branch/output of decisions.
Branch coverage is better because it tests both false and true conditions.
Statement Coverage and Branch coverage are types of White Box Testing.
STATEMENT coverage: Checks whether the code written is qualitative or if it does what is should do.
It only tests for the true condititon, it cannot test for the false condition.
Branch coverage: Tests code for both the true and false conditions .
Branch coverage is the better one as it can test the behavior of application 100%. All the possible input data can be tested for.
statement coverage testing- this is kind of white box testing technique. in this technique testing done by code written
whether the code written is qualitative or does what it is expected
decision coverage- in this testing to check the behaviour of the application
Statement Coverage only test the true condition/path and cannot test for the false condition, whereas Decision Coverage will test all possible paths from start to end, and cover both the true and false conditions/paths. Decision Coverage testing is better than Statement Coverage testing, since it tests all test cases and covers the true and false conditions.
Difference between Statement Coverage And Decision Coverage
Statement Coverage Testing -: It is called line or segment coverage testing.It is checked in trueconditions it is verified for every line of statements.
Decision Coverage Testing -: It is also called branch testing. It checks the different type of input are supplies to check a particular condition.
statement coverage tests 100% statement coverage at once. whereas, in decision coverage testing, all decisions and outputs are tested in true and false statement. Decision coverage testing is better as its tests true and false statement.
The basic differences between statement and decision coverage are
The statement coverage testing also called line or segment coverage testing. This testing is done on the code written to test the code and to find if the code is written is qualitative and do the functionality of what it is supposed to be done. It only check the true conditions it is verified for every line of statements. To achieve 100% statement coverage we need to check only TRUE conditions in a flow chart. The decision testing checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results known as Branch Testing.
Decision coverage is better because it tests both true and false conditions. Statement coverage testing only covers statements.
Statement coverage is a type of white box testing technique also called the line or segment coverage testing. The testing is done to the code written weather it is qualitative and got what expected to be. It is done in a true condition.
Decision Coverage will test all possible paths from start to end and cover both the true and false conditions/paths. Decision Coverage testing is better than Statement Coverage testing since it tests all test cases and covers the true and false conditions.
Statement coverage testing
Checks the statement is true and yield the result
Read X
Read Y
Z= X+Y
If Z>11
W=Pass
end if
In this case it reads the values of x and y and makes sure z>11, if Z>11the condition is pass
Whereas in decision coverage testing it checks and condition is met it yields the expected result and if not it yields the result of what to be done.
Read X
Read Y
Z= X+Y
If Z>11
W=Pass
if Z<11 then
W=fail
end if
Decision coverage testing is all over testing for valid and invalid data.
What is difference between statement coverage and decision coverage
– Statement coverage makes sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once. Decision/branch coverage tests that each output of a decision is tested (true or false)
Which one is better? statement coverage or decision coverage? Why?
– To determine which coverage is better, depends on the circumstance and what is needed to be tested. Usually Decision coverage is better because you test every execution true or false which gives more reliable results although time consuming.
Statement coverage testing is also called as line or segment coverage testing.
Decision coverage testing is also called as branch testing.
Statement coverage testing checks the true conditions only.
Decision coverage testing checks the true/false conditions.
Statement coverage testing is done to check whether the code written executes what it is expected to be done.
Decision coverage testing checks the behaviour of an application by providing different combination of units and obtains various results.
Decison testing is better because it tests both the true or false condition to obatin the results.
Statement coverage testing is accomplished to check if the code written is doing what is expected or measure its quality standards. Decision testing occurs when inputs are added to check a particular condition.
Decision coverage is better because we are able to check the conditions with the different inputs added compared to statement coverage. Statement coverage does not check the false condition of a statement.
Statement coverage is also known as line coverage/segment coverage. This involves the execution of all statements source codes at least once. However, one of the main disadvantages are, it cannot testify false conditions. Decision cover testing comes under white box testing. This technique tends to cover all outcomes of every Boolean condition of the code, followed by using a control flow graph or chart. Overall, decision coverage is better since, we can see the true and false condition.
1.
STATEMENT coverage testing is a type of white box software testing technique. It is called line or segment coverage testing. This testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. It is checked in true conditions it is verified for every line of statements.
The DECISION testing is a process which checks the behavior of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results. It is also called as Branch Testing.
2.
DECISION coverage testing is better than STATEMENT testing because it can test both true or false input condition.
Statement coverage is said to make sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once. It focusses on covering all statements or lines of a program .It is a weaker criteria as test cases that cover all statements may not cover all the branches.
Decision Coverage/Branch Coverage is said to test that each branch/output of a decision is tested i.e all statements in both false/true branches will be executed .It focusses on covering branches both conditional or unconditional .It is a stronger criteria that covers all branches and statements too.
Decision Coverage is better as it tests in true/false conditions or valid/invalid data.
The difference between statement coverage and decision coverage and which one is better:
Statement coverage requires only one test case and doesn’t involve testing of false conditions. When all the statements are tested at least once, 100% statement coverage is said to be achieved. In decision coverage/testing, different input combinations are used to obtain various outputs. When all possible paths of testing are covered from start to end, 100% decision coverage is said to be achieved. Due to these differences, and since decision coverage allows testing of all possibilities including false conditions, decision coverage is the better test.
Statement coverage is said to make sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once. Decision coverage gives the true or false results of different combinations of inputs.
Decision coverage is better because it tests all the possible inputs, but statement coverage requires only one test case and test only true conditions.
There are two types of white box testing techniques
Statement or line or segment coverage testing and decision or branch coverage testing
Statement coverage is a type of testing in which each line of statement is tested and verified. This testing technique is used to check and ensure that the code written is qualitative and fulfills all the expectations. It only tests the true conditions of the statement, it doesn’t check the false conditions of the statement. 100% statement coverage can be achieved if all the statements are at least tested once.
Decision testing is a type of testing done to check the behavior of the application in which different combinations of inputs are provided and obtaining different results. And 100% decision testing coverage can be achieved only if all the path from start to end are completed.This type of testing is better than statement testing as it checks both the true and false conditions of the statement.
Both Statement testing and decision testing is done by the developers using development tools.
Statement Coverage: It entails running all of the source code’s executable statements at least once.
Decision Coverage: It gives the true or false results of each Boolean expression.
Statement coverage is said to make sure that every statement in the code is executed at least once. Decision/branch coverage is said to test that each branch/output of a decisions is tested, i.e. all statements in both false/true branches will be executed.
Statement coverage is called line or segment coverage testing and this testing is done to the code written to test whether the code written is qualitative or whether it does what it is expected to be done. It is a type of white box software technique.
Decision testing is called branch testing. It checks the behaviour of the application by providing different combinations of input and obtains various results. It is a test design technique for white box testing.
Decision coverage testing is better than statement coverage testing because it covers both the true and false conditions.
