path coverage testing
<testing> Testing a program by examining which lines of executable code
are visited (as in code coverage testing) and also the ways of getting to each
line of code and the subsequent sequence of execution.
Path coverage testing is the most comprehensive type of testing that a test
suite can provide. It can find more bugs, especially those that are caused by
data coupling. However, path coverage is hard and usually only used for small
and/or critical sections of code.
