Statement Coverage

What is Statement Coverage?

Statement coverage is a white box testing technique that measures the percentage of executable statements in the source code that have been executed by the test suite.

How It's Calculated

Statement coverage = (Number of statements executed / Total number of statements) × 100

Limitations

While statement coverage ensures every line has run at least once, it does not guarantee that all logical branches (true/false conditions) have been tested — for that, branch coverage is needed as well.
