Statement coverage

• A statement is covered if it is executed

• Statement != line of code

• Sequences of statements

• Weakest form of coverage

• Still not easy to get 100% statement coverage

• Error conditions, rarely occurring events

        if ($param > 20)
        {
            die "This should never happen!";
        }

• Nice to mark code that shouldn't be executed

• Synonyms: statement execution, line, block, basic block or segment coverage
