Code coverage introduction
Code coverage is a measure used in software testing. It 
describes the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested.

It is a form of testing that looks at the code directly and as 
such comes under the heading of white box testing. Currently, the use of code 
coverage is extended to the field of digital hardware, the contemporary design 
methodology of which relies on Hardware description languages (HDL's). 
Code coverage techniques were amongst the first techniques 
invented for systematic software testing. The first published reference was by 
Miller and Maloney in Communications of the ACM in 1963.

	Code coverage:- 1) It a verification activity, we can verifiy degree of code of the programme be tested. It is blongs to White box testing. we can validate all the object, menthods,functions and declared vairiable within a programme executed atlease once a time. So as a white box tester we can give different kinds of test data and we can verify the all parts of code executed at lest once. 2) we can use below white box technique for code coverage 1) Path coverage 2) statement coverage 3_ Decision making 4) functional / methios /veraible
