Control Flow Testing

Ensuring Code Quality and Reliability

Introduction
• What is Control Flow Testing?
• - A software testing technique using the
program's control flow graph to design test
cases.
• - Focuses on execution paths in the program.

• Why is it important?
• - Identifies potential errors in the logic.
• - Ensures all code paths are executed.
Objectives of Control Flow Testing
• - Validate the logical flow of the program.
• - Ensure all decision points are tested.
• - Minimize potential bugs in branching logic.
• - Verify unused or unreachable code.
Key Concepts
• - Control Flow Graph (CFG): Visual
representation of all paths in the code.
• - Nodes and Edges:
• - Nodes represent statements or blocks.
• - Edges represent transitions between blocks.
• - Entry and Exit Points.
Types of Control Flow Testing
• 1. Statement Coverage: Ensures every
statement is executed at least once.
• 2. Branch Coverage: Validates that every
branch (true/false) is tested.
• 3. Path Coverage: Tests all possible paths
through the code.
• 4. Condition Coverage: Tests combinations of
logical conditions.
Techniques in Control Flow Testing
• - Path Testing: Identifying all independent
paths in the CFG.
• - Cyclomatic Complexity: Formula: V(G) = E - N
+ 2; Determines test cases required.
• - Loop Testing: Ensures loops are executed
zero, one, and multiple times.
Example Control Flow Graph
• Diagram of a sample CFG, labeled nodes and
edges, showing example path traversal.
Benefits of Control Flow Testing
• - Detects logical errors early.
• - Improves code maintainability.
• - Enhances software reliability.
Challenges
• - Complex for large programs.
• - Requires a detailed understanding of the
CFG.
• - May miss data flow-related issues.
Tools for Control Flow Testing
• Examples of tools:
• - JUnit (Java)
• - PyTest (Python)
• - CTC++ (C++)
Summary
• - Recap the importance of control flow testing.
• - Emphasize its role in quality assurance.
• - Highlight key takeaways: CFG, coverage
types, and benefits.
