Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for measuring and reporting on the effectiveness of software program testing combines information from existing debugging and analysis tools to provide various displays of the logical paths of a program under test that have been executed, as well as related data. Logical path execution is determined based on the number of times a decision block has been executed and the number of times statements coming out of the decision block have been executed.
