13 Questions
What is the main goal of a 'formally correct' program?
To be proven mathematically correct
Which type of error results from improper use of program statements?
Semantic errors
In the context of programming, what do compile time errors primarily include?
Syntax errors and static semantic errors
What is the purpose of tools like JavaDoc, Doxygen, and Sphinx mentioned in the text?
To assist in documenting code and generating documentation
What type of errors are runtime errors, dynamic semantic errors, and logical errors?
Errors that cannot be detected by the compiler
Why is it recommended to test simple cases, large cases, weird cases, and limit cases in software testing?
To ensure all possible scenarios are covered
From a testing perspective, why might implementing software first and testing at the end be a risky approach?
It may result in overlooking critical bugs until late stages
What is the main idea behind Test-Driven Development (TDD)?
Develop code incrementally based on failing tests
What is the purpose of Rule#1 in Test-Driven Development (TDD)?
To establish a measure of success before coding
What does the 'Green' phase in the Red, Green, Refactor approach of Test-Driven Development (TDD) focus on?
Thinking about how to make tests pass
Why does Test-Driven Development (TDD) promote incremental programming?
By focusing on small bits of code at a time
In TDD, when should the test fail according to Rule#1?
Before any coding is implemented
What is the significance of writing unit tests before functional code in TDD?
It helps in establishing a measure of success
This quiz covers runtime errors such as dynamic semantic errors and logical errors that cannot be detected by the compiler, along with debugging techniques. It also explores formal methods, which involve using mathematical modeling for system specification, development, and verification in software development.
