  2. Wikipedia : Reference desk/How to ask a software question

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/...

    I am writing a Perl program, but it doesn't work. I am reading in the names but they come out wrong. Is there a solution? The question is unanswerable for three reasons: readers don't know what the goal is; readers don't know what the problem is; readers don't have example source code in which to look for the problem

  3. Informal methods of validation and verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_methods_of...

    Inspection is a verification method that is used to compare how correctly the conceptual model matches the executable model. Teams of experts, developers, and testers will thoroughly scan the content (algorithms, programming code, documents, equations) in the original conceptual model and compare with the appropriate counterpart to verify how closely the executable model matches.

  4. Assertion (software development) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assertion_(software...

    In computer programming, specifically when using the imperative programming paradigm, an assertion is a predicate (a Boolean-valued function over the state space, usually expressed as a logical proposition using the variables of a program) connected to a point in the program, that always should evaluate to true at that point in code execution.

  5. Dry run (testing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_run_(testing)

    A dry run (or practice run) is a software testing process used to make sure that a system works correctly and will not result in severe failure. [1] For example, rsync, a utility for transferring and synchronizing data between networked computers or storage drives, has a "dry-run" option users can use to check that their command-line arguments are valid and to simulate what would happen when ...

    Check the return value of all non-void functions, or cast to void to indicate the return value is useless. Use the preprocessor sparingly. Limit pointer use to a single dereference, and do not use function pointers. Compile with all possible warnings active; all warnings should then be addressed before release of the software.

  7. Guard (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_(computer_science)

    In computer programming, a guard is a Boolean expression that must evaluate to true if the execution of the program is to continue in the branch in question. Regardless of which programming language is used, a guard clause, guard code, or guard statement is a check of integrity preconditions used to avoid errors during execution.

    Dynamic program analysis; Software metrics; Integrated development environment (IDE) and comparison of integrated development environments. IDEs will usually come with built-in support for static program analysis, or with an option to integrate such support. Eclipse offers such integration mechanism for most different types of extensions (plug ...
