Statement Coverage is
higher and almost near
10 100%.

Involves the execution of

product or code.

It performs the testing in
the run time environment.

Itis performed at a later

requirements at each level of
software development.

Responsible for the
corrective actions like
removing & fixing defects.

‘Time and cost, is
comparatively higher.

May require manual or
