+---+ | L | +---+ LCSAJ A Linear Code Sequence And Jump, consisting of the following three items (conventionally identified by line numbers in a source code listing): the start of the linear sequence of executable statements, the end of the linear sequence, and the target line to which control flow is transferred at the end of the linear sequence.(BCS) LCSAJ COVERAGE The percentage of LCSAJs of a component which are exercised by a test case suite.(BCS) LCSAJ TESTING A test case design technique for a component in which test cases are designed to execute LCSAJs.(BCS) LEAP YEAR A year either evenly divisible by 400 OR evenly divisible by 4 and not evenly divisible by 100. For example, the years 1700, 1800, 1900, and 1995 are not leap years, but the years 1600, 1996, and 2000 are leap years. (IBM) LILIAN DATE The number of days since 1582-October-14. 1582-October-15 is Lilian day 1, 1582-October-16 is Lilian day 2, and so on. (Named for Aloysius Lilius (an advisor to Pope Gregory XIII) who, together with his brother, constructed the current Gregorian calendar.) (IBM) LOGIC-COVERAGE TESTING See structural test case design.

LUNAR CALENDAR The ancient Chinese lunar calendar is divided into 12 months of either 29 or 30 days (compensating for the lunar month's mean duration of 29 days, 12 hr, 44.05 min). The calendar is synchronized with the solar year by the addition of extra months at fixed intervals. The Chinese calendar runs on a sexagenary cycle, i.e., a 60-year cycle. The cycles 1876-1935 and 1936-95, with the years grouped under their 12 animal designations, are printed below. A new cycle will begin in 1996 and last until 2055. The Year 1995 (Luna r Year 4693) is found in the 12th column, under Pig, and is known as a Year of the Pig. Readers can find the animal name for the year of their birth, marriage, etc., in the same chart. (Note: The first 3-7 weeks of each of the Western years belong to the previous Chinese year and animal designation.) Both the Western (Gregorian) and traditional lunar calendars are used publicly in China and in North and South Korea, and 2 New Year's celebrations are held. Chinese New Year, Vietnamese Tet In Taiwan, in overseas Chinese communities, and in Vietnam, the lunar calendar is used only to se t the dates for traditional festivals, with the Gregorian system in general use. The 4-day Chinese New Year, Hsin Nien, the 3-day Vietnamese New Year festival, Tet, and the 3-to-4-day Korean festival, Suhl, begin at the first new moon after the sun enters Aquarius. Because the date is fixed according to the date of the new moon in the Far East, which is west of the International Date Line, the date may be one day later than that of the new moon in the U.S. The day may fall, therefore, between Jan. 21 and Feb. 19 of the Gregorian calendar. Jan. 31, 1995, marks the start of the new Chinese year.
