Summary

Some forms of testing are significantly more time consuming to develop, and all-paths coverage is one of these. Is introduced to the reader as it is one of the most powerful forms of white-box testing, ensuring that every path from the beginning to the end of the code is exercised during testing. It is unlikely that a tester will use this technique in practice, but an understanding of this technique provides a baseline to compare other white-box tests against.
