This article mixes the DO-178B coverage requirements and the test coverage criteria. For example the Decision Coverage does not explicitly say that every point of entry and exit in the program must be invoked at least once. It only says Every decision in the program has taken all possible outcomes at least once. The first part could not be satisfied automatically (think of a function, procedure or method free of any decision node) but still the coverage criterion does not include it. Same for the mc/dc where it is about how all condition in a decision must have the possibility to act on the decision outcome.
