ANSWER>>>- It ensures that all independent paths of a module
have been exercised
- It ensures that all logical decisions have been verified along with
their true and false value.
- It discovers the typographical errors and does syntax checking
- It finds the design errors that may have occurred because of the
difference between logical flow of the program and the actual
execution.
