5 - Lecture 58: MC/DC Testing

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Define Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on how individual conditions are tested.

Question 2

Easy

How many test cases are needed for a decision with 4 atomic conditions?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the formula for MC/DC test cases.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary goal of MC/DC?

  • To ensure every condition is executed
  • To demonstrate independent influence of conditions
  • To check overall decision coverage

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about why we test conditions in the first place.

Question 2

True or False: Achieving 100% MC/DC guarantees that every condition affects the outcome.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the definition of independent influence.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the expression (X && Y) || (Z && !Y), derive the minimum test cases required for MC/DC and justify your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider each atomic condition and how many states it can have.

Question 2

Evaluate a scenario where MC/DC was not applied and resulted in a fault in a safety-critical application. Propose how applying MC/DC could have prevented this issue.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how dependencies between conditions can mask potential issues.
