A recipe for coding(cont)

• After you compile with no errors YOU ARE NOT DONE.

• You should stress test your code

  • test for different values as input
    • try also wrong values to see how your program behaves
  • test for the different execution flows
    • provide test cases that exercise control flow constructs with ALL their branching.
  • make sure that all the test cases provide the “correct” results.
    • correct results = same output as the one described by your customer (homework, design, text description)
  • if a test case fails
    • detect, fix and run again
