The document discusses statement testing and statement coverage. It defines statement testing as designing test cases to execute statements, and statement coverage as the percentage of executable statements executed by a test suite. It provides examples of how to calculate the number of test cases needed to achieve statement coverage for different code structures like IF/ELSE, SWITCH, WHILE, etc. It also mentions a tool called TestCompetence that can generate pseudocode examples to practice whitebox testing techniques like statement coverage.

- 2. Dictionary statement: an entity in a programming language, which is typically the smallest indivisible unit of execution. statement testing: a white box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute statements. statement coverage: the percentage of executable statements that have been exercised by a test suite. executable statement: a statement which, when compiled, is translated into object code, and which will be executed procedurally when the program is running and may perform an action on data. code coverage: an analysis method that determines which parts of the software have been executed (covered) by the test suite and which parts have not been executed, e.g. statement coverage, decision coverage or condition coverage.

- 3. What is…? Statement coverage is the assessment of the percentage of executable statements that have been exercised by a test case suite. Statement testing derives test cases to execute specific statements, normally to increase statement coverage. From „Certified Tester Foundation Level Syllabus (version 2011)” Copyright © 2013
