What is achieved when a test suite executes each true and each false decision in a code segment?

The concept being described relates to decision coverage, which is a specific criterion used in software testing to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of test cases. Decision coverage measures whether each decision point in the code has been executed to both its true and false outcomes.

When a test suite achieves decision coverage, it means that tests have been designed in such a way that every branch of the decision points (like if-else statements) has been exercised. This ensures that the system behaves as expected for both possible outcomes of each decision. By covering both the true and false paths, testers can identify potential bugs that might only appear in one of these conditions, ensuring a more thorough testing process.

In this context, while the other options may touch on various aspects of testing, they do not specifically refer to the act of executing both true and false decisions. For instance, error guessing involves using intuition and experience to guess where bugs might be, rather than systematically covering decision outcomes. Fault attack refers to attempts to induce failures to evaluate how the system reacts, while static testing involves analyzing the code without running it. Hence, none of these alternatives encapsulate the specific achievement of decision coverage as accurately as what the question refers to.
