The study of Pairwise Condition Covering test technology

摘要

Multiple Condition Coverage (MCC) is a very strong test criterion in the white-box test, but as it requires much more test cases, it is not useful in practices. We now propose a new method: Pairwise Condition Covering test, which simplified MCC, but inherited the advantage of MCC, meanwhile it needs only a few numbers of test cases. Compare to the widely used Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC), it will use less test cases when there are quite a lot of conditions; besides it can discover the deficiencies which MC / DC could not identify.
