what is Path Testing? It is a way or a method of testing to ensure that all the lines in the program is executed once at least. There is Program Graphs, Decision-to-Decision (DD) Paths, Test Coverage with Program Graphs and DD-Path Graphs
Today we will talk about the programming graph and how to draw a good programming graph, we need to know that the graph is made of nodes and arrows, the nodes and the circles are that will form our graph. These nodes and arrows are connected to each other either in or out and presenting what each line in the program means. Then need to follow each line in the program, reading each line ad writing notes, marking the for loops, the if statements and the while-do loops. after we marked each line then we start to put our first drawing nodes and connecting arrows.
We always put number one in the first node and the first node has only an out arrow, since its the start of the program, then step by step drawing the rest of the nodes until the end if the program, I know that seams very confusing but lets try to make a programming graph with this example.
The programming graph for this small program will be as below:
