Line 17:
;Condition: A condition is a leaf-level Boolean expression (it cannot be broken down into a simpler Boolean expression).
 
;Condition Coverage: Every condition in a decision in the program has taken all possible outcomes at least once.
 
;Decision Coverage: Every point of entry and exit in the program has been invoked at least once, and every decision in the program has taken all possible outcomes at least once.
 
;Condition/Decision Coverage: Every point of entry and exit in the program has been invoked at least once, every condition in a decision in the program has taken all possible outcomes at least once, and every decision in the program has taken all possible outcomes at least once.
 
;Modified Condition/Decision Coverage: Every point of entry and exit in the program has been invoked at least once, every condition in a decision in the program has taken on all possible outcomes at least once, and each condition has been shown to affect that decision outcome independently. A condition is shown to affect a decision’s outcome independently by varying just that condition while holding fixed all other possible conditions. The condition/decision criterion does not guarantee the coverage of all conditions in the module because in many test cases, some conditions of a decision are masked by the other conditions. Using the modified condition/decision criterion, each condition must be shown to be able to act on the decision outcome by itself, everything else being held fixed. The MC/DC criterion is thus much stronger than the condition/decision coverage
