D) Test Effectiveness
Code coverage is a white box testing measure used to describe the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested. Coverage analysis is used to assure quality of your set of tests, not the quality of the actual product.
Answer:
Code Coverage can be used a measure of Test Effectiveness.
D) Test effectiveness
Reason
Code Coverage basically describes the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested. Since we cover Function Coverage, Decision Coverage, Condition Coverage, Path Coverage as well as Statement Coverage, I suppose it would show if our testing process missed out on some part of the code.
Maybe test scenarios or testcases did not handle the branching of code which occurs on particular conditions. This would reduce the Test Effectiveness quotient measured using Function Point Analysis
