4.3 White-box Test Techniques

White-box testing is based on the internal structure of the test object.Can be used at all test levels, most commonly at the component test level.

4.3.1 Statement Testing and Coverage

Statement testing exercises the potential executable statements in the code.

4.3.2 Decision Testing and Coverage

Decision testing exercises the decisions in the code and tests the code that is executed based on the decision outcomes.

4.3.3 The Value of Statement and Decision Testing

Achieving 100% decision coverage guarantees 100% statement coverage (but not vice versa).
