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

💡 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

💡 Hint: Consider the definition of independent influence.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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

💡 Hint: Consider each atomic condition and how many states it can have.

Challenge 2 Hard

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.

💡 Hint: Think about how dependencies between conditions can mask potential issues.
