While it is variously referred to as branch, path, or variability identification, in all cases the test designer identifies the various ways the user or external system can execute the use case.

有时它会被引用作为不同的分支、路径，或者变异性识别，在测试设计者识别各种方法的所有用例中，用户或者外部的系统都可以执行这个用例。

After the previous test, Process a and Process Z diverge, each taking a separate code path, as if both came to a fork in the road and each took a distinct branch.

在上次测试之后，进程a和进程z会出现差异，每个进程会采用单独的代码路径，就像路上出现岔道，每一个都会走上不同的分枝。

Ignoring the root element (in this case,), you then follow a path up the tree from branch to smaller branch until you can go no farther.

忽略根元素(在本例中，即)，之后，就可以顺着此树的这个分支往上到达更小的分支，一直到不能再前进为止。

So there's a return branch on every possible path through the code. And that's valuable, it's something you want to think about as your right your own.

所以代码中每条可能的路径,都会有一个返回值分支，这是非常有价值的,当你自己写程序的时候也应该考虑这件事。
