Control Structure Testing
Because basis path testing alone is insufficient, other techniques should be utilized.
Condition testing can be utilized to design test cases which examine the logical conditions in a program. It focuses on all conditions in the program and includes testing of both relational expressions and arithmetic expressions.
This can be accomplished using branch testing and/or domain testing methods. Branch testing executes both true and false branches of a condition. Domain testing utilizes values on the left-hand side of the relation by making them greater than, equal to and less then the right-hand side value. This method test both values and the relation operators in the expression.
Data flow testing method is effective for error protection because it is based on the relationship between statements in the program according to the definition and uses of variables.
Loop testing method concentrates on validity of the loop structures.
