Statement Coverage: Now, lets calculate statement coverage, find out the shortest path covering  all nodes . If we consider exam above. Then Statement Coverage = 1A- 2C- 3D -4F -5G-6I-7J-K So, traversing in one path all the nodes are covered. Hence statement coverage in this case is 1. Branch Coverage: To calculate Branch/decision coverage we need to find out minimum number of paths covering  all the edges.  In this case, with path 1A-2C-3D -4F -5G-6I-7J-K maximum number of edges can be covered howev
