0-switch coverage is basically the testing for each valid transition. Since you don't have loops, you simply count the number of arrows.

1-switch coverage relates to the number of pairs of valid transitions. E.g., "3 -> 2 -> 1" is a pair of valid transitions. On the other hand, "3 -> 2 -> 4" and "3 -> 1 -> (whatever)" are not valid because you can't perform these paths.

N-switch coverage refers to N+1 valid transitions list.

You can find an algorithm to find all paths between two nodes here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58446/2252076

Which you can adapt to discover all paths of length N.

  • I don't get why "3 -> 1 -> (whatever)" is not valid. We can go from "3 -> 1 -> 4" , can you clarify more please
