Robust Programs 2.3

Robust Programs 2.3

1. Iterative testing: This happens overtime and is repeated throughout the development of the program

2. Syntax Errors: An error in the rules/grammar of the language Eg missing colon / spelling mistake

3. Logic errors: The program is written to do something other than what the programmer intended Eg Resetting only the first 9 elements in an array instead of all 10.

4. Test Data: Something which has been specifically identified for use in tests, typically of a computer program

5. Maintainability : Updating code so that it is compatible with current requirements

6. defensive design

   • Anticipating misuse of the program and planning for things that could go wrong
   • Writing maintainable code that helps other diagnose problems if they arise
   • Testing the program with suitable test data to identify and fix errors before it is put into general use
