A test analyst is designing test cases for a function with a control flow graph that has 5 independent paths. The team's coverage goal is to achieve 100% statement coverage. What is the minimum number of test cases required to meet this goal?

Cannot be determined from the information given

What is the relationship between statement coverage and branch coverage?

Statement coverage is stronger than branch coverage

They are unrelated coverage criteria

They are equivalent coverage criteria

Branch coverage is stronger than statement coverage

In a control flow graph, what does a node typically represent?

A basic block of statements with a single entry and exit

What is the goal of basis path testing?

To execute every possible path in the control flow graph

To derive a set of test cases that cover all independent paths in the control flow graph

To ensure that every statement is executed at least once

To test only the most critical paths in the code
