All Implemented Interfaces:

IAnalysisModule

public class BranchCountMeasure

extends AbstractMeasure

Processes methods for branch coverage analysis, where each branch instruction and its corresponding not-taken instruction are marked. Currently, this does not support localization.

This is more accurately called "Object Code Branch Coverage", since true branch coverage requires the originating source code to correctly discover the branches.

This measure can be superior to line coverage due to the Java construct of the ?: operation. This hides a branch inside a single statement. Also, some developers may put an if statement and its one-line branch all on the same line, which will hide the branch that was taken.
