Question 1

+5 marksOne correct option

Edge-pair coverage is not subsumed by prime path coverage due to which of the following reasons?

  1. A

    Because prime path coverage does not subsume edge coverage.

  2. B

    Because all edge-pairs are simple paths.

  3. C

    Because edge-pair coverage requires self-loops to be visited.

  4. D

    Edge-pair coverage is subsumed by prime path coverage.

Correct answer

  • C

    Because edge-pair coverage requires self-loops to be visited.
