Test coverage

One of the features within TestCompass is to automatically generate the test cases based on a pre-selected test coverage form (from weak to strong). When the model is made, discussed and assessed by the business, the Test Cases can be automatically generated. The desired test coverage can be related to the result of a previously performed product risk analysis (PRA) where the various functionalities are categorized according to priority. The strongest test coverage can then be selected for the functionalities with the highest priority.

To generate test cases, click on the tab ‘Test’ and first choose a test coverage. In TestCompass you can select the following test coverage forms, from weak to strong.

Node coverage: All nodes in the model will be tested at least once. The Action/State, Decision and Result symbols are classified as nodes.

Edge coverage: All edges in the model will be tested at least once. The links between the nodes are classified as edges.?

Multiple condition coverage: All multiple conditions will be tested at least once. A multiple condition is a combination of 2 consecutive Test Paths (Yes and No path out of a decision). If a single Test Path is not covered by a multiple condition, this single Test Path is also classified as a multiple condition.

Path coverage: All possible paths from Start to End will be tested.
