The document describes basis path testing of an average calculation procedure. It identifies 6 independent paths through the program: 1) normal calculation; 2) early termination with -999 value; 3) processing over 100 values; 4) ignoring values below minimum; 5) ignoring values above maximum; and 6) normal calculation. Test cases are outlined to exercise each path by manipulating the input values and validating the output.

Basis Path Testing - Example
PROCEDURE average: This procedure computes the average of 100 or fewer numbers that lie between bounding values; it also computes the sum and the total number valid INTERFACE returns average, total.input, total.valid; INTERFACE accepts value, minimum, maximum; TYPE value[1:100] IS SCALAR ARRAY; TYPE average, total.input, total.valid, minimum,maximum,sum IS SCALAR; TYPE i is integer; i=1; 1 2 total.input = total.valid = 0; Sum=0; Do while value[i]<>-999 and total.input <= 100 3 4 increment total.input by 1; IF value[i] >= minimum and value[i] <=maximum 6 5 THEN increment total.valid by 1; 7 sum = sum + value[I];
8 ENDIF increment i by 1; 9 Enddo IF value[i] >0 10 11 THEN average = sum / total.valid; ELSE average = -999; 12 ENDIF 13 1 Basis Testing Example 1

9 2 Basis Testing Example Compute cyclomatic complexity V(G)= 17 edges 13 nodes + 2 = 6 Determine sets of independent paths 1 = 1-2-10-11-13 2 = 1-2-10-12-13 3 = 1-2-3-10-11-13 4 = 1-2-3-10-12-13 5 = 1-2-3-4-5-8-9-2- 6 = 1-2-3-4-5-6-8-9-2-. Or is it??? 3 Correction Oops, the previous page is WRONG. Determine set of independent paths 1 = 1-2-10-11-13 2 = 1-2-3-10-12-13 3 = 1-2-3-4-5-8-9-2- 4 = 1-2-3-4-5-6-8-9-2- 5 = 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-2- Why arent there six?
4 Basis Testing - Example Prepare Test Cases for each Test case path 1 Value(k) is value k < i i >= 2 i <=100 Value i = -999 same range Expected result: correct average based on k values and proper totals Test case path 2 Value(1) = -999 Expected results : average = -999; other totals are the initial values Test case path 3 Attempt to process 101 or more values First 100 should be valid 5 Expected results as test case 1 Basis Testing Example Test case path 4 Value(i) = valid input where i < 100 Value(k) < minimum where k < i Expected results: correct average based on k values and proper totals Test case path 5 Value (i) = valid input where i < 100 Value(k) > maximum where k=i Expected results: correct average based on n values and proper totals Test case path 6 Value(i) = valid input where i < 100 Expected results: correct average based on n values and proper totals 6
