Explanation of the importance of each stage of the development process
- testing
I often find the easiest way to check for logical errors it to work through the program using pencil and the structured listing. This method of testing is know as a “Dry Run” or “Structured Walk Through”
- Allows a programmer to check for errors by working throught the program by hand with test data.
- A standard technique to identify potential errors is to conduct a dry run. This involves taking test data and a listing of the relevant part of the code, and calculating exactly what would happen to the data if it were to pass through that code. It is a pencil and paper exercise.
