The percentage of boundary values of the component's equivalence classes which have been exercised by a test case suite. BS 7925-1.British Computer Society Specialist Interest Group in Software Testing (BCS SIGIST).
A metric indicating how much testing is required. It is important because a lot of defects are discovered at the boundary values. Thus if none or very few boundary value tests are left, then the risk of failure has been significantly reduced.
