Episode 26: Code Coverage in Qualification

In this episode Dr. Oscar Slotosch discusses the role of code coverage in the qualification of tools and libraries. Tune in to learn about how code coverage is applied in a safety analysis, the importance of the modified condition/decision coverage (MCDC) criterion in software testing, and why code coverage analysis is strongly recommended, but almost never required by modern safety standards. To learn more about MCDC, listen to our Episode 37: Modified Condition/Decision Coverage, and for more information on the applications of code coverage in qualification, join us in our next episode, Episode 27: Compiler Qualification, where we showcase an in-depth analysis of the methods, procedures, and pitfalls in the qualification of compilers.
