Testing

1. Syntax Errors

   • A syntax error is when code does not follow the rules of the programming language it has been written in
   • An example would be a spelling error in a program, or too many or too few brackets being used

2. Logic Errors

   • A logic error is when a program will run but it will output an unusual or incorrect output
   • An example is an infinite while loop, one that wont stop until terminated

3. Test Plan

   • Logic errors and synatx errors can be identifies by testing. Testing properly requires a test plan
   • A test plan requires a table that includes a test number for each test, a box with the data being inputted, a box for the expected outcome and a box for the actual outcome
   • There are three different types of data for testing
     • Normal Data
       • A piece of normal data used in the range of accptable inputs
     • Extreme data
       • A piece of data used at the very minimum or maximum limit of accepted inputs
     • Erroneous data
       • A piece of data not withing the accepted range of data used
