Primes

• Coverage / Reachability
  • Software testing: branch, path, and statement coverage — every code branch is exercised by at least one test; gaps are branches no test reaches.

    This sourceStandard reference defining statement, branch, and path coverage as the requirement that every code branch be exercised by at least one test.

• Surjectivity
  • In computer science and software testing it is coverage as a structural goal: a test suite is "surjective" over the set of requirements, branches, or equivalence classes when every one of them is exercised by some test, and an uncovered branch is a gap exactly as an unhit codomain element is; code generation that must emit a case for every variant, and parsers that must accept every string in a grammar, are surjectivity obligations.

    This sourceBranch, requirement, and equivalence-class coverage as the goal that every target be exercised by some test, with an uncovered branch as a gap.
