Branch Coverage in Software Testing
Branch coverage is a white-box metric measuring the percentage of decision branches, the true and false outcomes of every conditional, exercised by your tests. Unlike statement coverage, it requires each branch of an if/else or loop to run, making it a stronger indicator that tests reach the code’s decision logic. When testing software, it’s not…

TestNG vs JUnit: Performance, Ease of Use, and Flexibility Compared
It’d be ideal if the software worked perfectly right from the start, but in reality, achieving such perfection demands thorough testing. This is where frameworks like TestNG and JUnit play a crucial, yet often underappreciated, role. They are among the most popular tools in the Java ecosystem, each with its unique approach to tackling the…

Understanding Statement Coverage in Software Testing
Statement coverage is a white-box metric that measures the percentage of executable statements in your code exercised by a test suite. Full statement coverage means every line ran at least once during testing. It is a basic coverage measure, useful for spotting untested code, though it does not guarantee every branch or condition was checked.…

Capture gRPC Traffic going out from a Server
How does gRPC work? A quick Google search would tell you that it uses HTTP/2.0 under the hood, but that’s about it. Most available guides talk about gRPC internals by assuming that you are already deeply familiar with HTTP/2.0, and the only proper documentation for HTTP/2 is the official RFC document, which doesn’t contain implementation…
