Test cases for Decision Coverage and Modified Condition / Decision Coverage -Zalán Szugyi

In this study we concern to structural testing methods, especially which are related to Decision Coverage (DC), and Modified Condition / Decision Coverage (MCDC). These coverage metrics are discussed in the next chapter. We analyze several projects – written in Ada programming language – in subprogram level, and estimate how many test cases are needed to satisfy the 100% of DC and MCDC coverage. At last we  answer to the question: how many test cases need more to satisfy MCDC then DC. In the second chapter we describe the most frequently used coverage metrics. In the third chapter we give a detailed description about how we analyzed the source codes of projects. Then we discuss the results of our analysis in the fourth chapter. And the summary and the conclusion comes in the fifth chapter.

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO MODIFIED CONDITION/DECISION COVERAGE -Kelly J. Hayhurst, Dan S. Veerhusen

Testing of software intended for safety-critical applications in commercial transport aircraft must achieve modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) of the software structure. This requirement causes anxiety for many within the aviation software community. Results of a survey of the aviation software industry indicate that many developers believe that meeting the MC/DC requirement is difficult, and the cost is exorbitant. Some of the difficulties stem, no doubt, from the scant information available on the subject. This paper provides a practical 5-step approach for assessing MC/DC for aviation software products, and an analysis…
