The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
path coverage testing
Testing a program by examining which lines of
executable code are visited (as in code coverage testing)
and also the ways of getting to each line of code and the
subsequent sequence of execution.
Path coverage testing is the most comprehensive type of
testing that a test suite can provide. It can find more
bugs, especially those that are caused by data coupling.
However, path coverage is hard and usually only used for small
and/or critical sections of code.
