MC/DC stands for Modified Condition/Decision Coverage. Informally, it forces deep testing of conditional expressions as in "IF A and B or C THEN ..." where several tests would be required for the "A and B or C" expression whereas branch and decision testing would only require two (one for a True outcome and one for a False outcome). It is a more thorough, if somewhat badly defined, coverage criterion often required for high integrity systems. regards, the Midoan Team
