  2. 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.

  3. Debug code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debug_code

    Usually the best time to fix a bug is before the program is run. This can be done by inserting assertions into the code. In C this can be done using the assert() command. An assert command can check to see if the program is running the correct conditions at this point in the program. [4]

  4. Design by contract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_contract

    In many programming languages, contracts are implemented with assert. Asserts are by default compiled away in release mode in C/C++, and similarly deactivated in C# [8] and Java. Launching the Python interpreter with "-O" (for "optimize") as an argument will likewise cause the Python code generator to not emit any bytecode for asserts. [9]

  5. Fuzzing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzing

    In programming and software development, fuzzing or fuzz testing is an automated software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a computer program. The program is then monitored for exceptions such as crashes, failing built-in code assertions, or potential memory leaks. Typically, fuzzers are ...

  6. Comment (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comment_(computer_programming)

    The programmer adds comment syntax that converts program code into comments so that what was executable code will no longer be executed at runtime. Sometimes this technique is used to find the cause of a bug. By systematically commenting out and running parts of the program, the offending source code can be located.

  7. Rubber duck debugging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

    In software engineering, rubber duck debugging (or rubberducking) is a method of debugging code by articulating a problem in spoken or written natural language. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it ...

  8. Stepping (debugging) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepping_(debugging)

    To provide for full screen "animation" of a program, a suitable I/O device such as a video monitor is normally required that can display a reasonable section of the code (e.g. in dis-assembled machine code or source code format) and provide a pointer (e.g. <==) to the current instruction or line of source code.

  9. Dynamic program analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_program_analysis

    Dynamic program analysis is the act of analyzing software that involves executing a program – as opposed to static program analysis, which does not execute it. Analysis can focus on different aspects of the software including but not limited to: behavior , test coverage , performance and security .
