Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Path testing is a white-box testing technique based on the control structure of a program or a module. It is used to design the test cases.
Path testing is used to design test cases , bases on flows or logical paths that can be taken through program. It define the number of independent paths, so the number of test cases needed can be defines explicitly to maximize test coverage. See the example for more detail
See the example for more details
can you elaborate this with example
This is very simple example of finding maximum number from three numbers. To do the path testing , it require complete knowledge of program structure. From the algorithm or program structure, here drawn the control flow graph. It tells us the total paths generated hence we have to design that number of test cases to test every path atleast once.In this example program, total 4 paths created hence 4 test cases atleast designed to test every path.
