Answer / paulo

Yo can prepare a set of input values to go trough both
conditions, that would be one test case.
You can prepare another set of values to take the false path
in condition1 (the only one that have statement when false)
i.e:
If x > y then X=1
fi
If f > v then F=1
fi
Test case 1 would be X = 3, Y = 2, F=3, V=2
Test case 2, would be x= 3, Y = 4, F=3, F=4
So the answer would be 2 test cases, and as far as i can
see, that would be the option A, that have a missed number

Answer / jagadish

for path coverage we have to check all the paths its like
boolean expression, (true, true) is one path, (true, false)
is the second path, (false, true) is third path and both
false is the fourth path. so to cover 100% path coverage it
needs 4 test cases to achieve it. Please clarify if i am wrong.

Answer / anand

It is 4 test cases for the path coverage. The first condition has two path Statement 1 and Statement 2 (True and False). Same way the second condition also has two paths Statement 3 and nothing/null ( as there is no else for the second condition ) but it still is path (there is no statement but still there is a path compiler can take...)

Answer / sachin karla

actually in statement testing,what happens like,3 cases arise in the program and it proceeds as:
case 1:the '+' sign becomes a 'space'.
case 2:'%xx' becomes byte with hexadecimal value 'xx'.
case 3:other alphanumeric char map themselves.
So guys,think about it and make a proper testing over it..
