PATH COVERAGE
Path coverage represents yet another interesting measure. Due to conditional statements like if-else, case in the design different path is created which diverts the flow of stimulus to the specific path.
Path coverage is considered to be more complete than branch coverage because it can detect the errors related to the sequence of operations. As mentioned in the above figure path will be decided according to the if-else statement According to the applied stimulus the condition which is satisfied only under those expressions will execute, the path will be diverted according to that. Path coverage is possible in always and function blocks . Path created by more than one block is not covered. Analysis of path coverage report is not so easy task.
Path coverage report of the example:
Path 1 : 15,20 Not Covered
Path 2 : 15,21 Not Covered
Path 3: 15,22 Not Covered
Path 4: 17,20 Not Covered
Path 5 : 17,21 Covered
Path 6 : 17,22 Not Covered
Total possible paths : 6
Total covered path : 1
Path coverage Percentage : 16.67 (1/6)
