Types of program testings and errors
1 like848 views
Computer programming involves designing, writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining source code to create a program that exhibits desired behaviors. There are three main types of programming errors: syntax errors due to incorrect language usage, logic errors involving flawed program design, and arithmetic errors from inappropriate mathematical operations like division by zero. Testing is the process of executing programs to find errors and ensure requirements are met. It helps improve quality, verify functionality, estimate reliability, and validate exceptional handling. Alpha and beta testing involve simulated or limited real-world use before public release. Black box testing examines external functions without viewing internal structures, while white box testing uses internal knowledge to design test cases. Interface testing verifies connections between components.

Types of program testings and errors
- 1. • Alburdy Sarah • Camallsaib Amiirah
- 2. • Computer programming is the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging/ troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. • The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain desired behaviour (customisation).
- 4. • Testing is the process of executing a program or system with the intent of finding errors. • There are 3 types of programming errors: Syntax Logic Arithmetic
- 5. These are errors in the use of the language. It is not difficult to spot as when the message will be translated, it will tell the programmer which word cannot be recognised.
- 6. A logic error is a mistake in the way the program solution has been designed. It is difficult to spot the message, as such a mistake does not usually make the program stop working, it just makes it produce wrong results.
- 7. This is a type of logic error. Arithmetic errors are created when inappropriate arithmetic is used. A good example is when a computer is asked to divide by 0, this is impossible and would cause the program to fail.
- 8. • DEFINITION Testing is evaluating the capability of a program. • PURPOSE To determine that the program meets its required results.
- 9. • For Quality bugs kill– in a computerized embedded world Defect detection (find problems and get them fixed) To make quality visible.
- 10. For Verification & Validation: show it works:– clean test/positive test or it can handle exceptional situations: dirty test/negative test • For Reliability Estimation E.g. reliability growth testing
- 12. Alpha testing is simulated by potential users. It is often employed for off-the-shelf software as a form of internal acceptance testing, before the software goes to beta testing.
- 13. • Beta testing follows alpha testing. • It is release to a limited audience outside of the programming team for further testing to ensure the product has few faults or bugs.
- 14. A black box is a device, system or object which can be viewed solely in terms of its input, output and transfer characteristics. Example: a transistor.
- 15. • It is the opposite of a black box. • It is a system where the inner components or logic are available for inspection, which is sometimes known as a white box, a glass box, or a clear box.
- 16. •It involves having knowledge of internal data structures and algorithms for purposes of designing the test cases.
- 17. It is any type of software testing that seeks to verify the interfaces between components against a software design. It works to expose defects in the interfaces and interaction between integrated components (modules).
