【跟着MIT学Python】Unit 4.7 Good Programming Practices*

Classes of Tests

• Unit testing
• Regression testing
• Integration testing

Black Box Testing

Black-box testing is a method of software testing that tests the functionality of an application. A way to think about black-box testing is to look at both:

• The possible paths through the specification.
• The possible boundary cases.

Glass Box Testing

• guideline

  for loops

  while loops

  branches

• path-complete

Test at least one time at each of the path.

In glass box testing, we try to sample as many paths through the code as we can. In the case of loops, we want to sample three general cases:

1. Not executing the loop at all.
2. Executing the loop exactly once.
3. Executing the loop multiple times.

Bugs

• Overt vs. covert

  overt $\to$ has an obvious manifestation

  convert $\to$ no obvious manifestation [HARDEST ONE]

• Persistent vs. intermittent

  occurs every time code is run

  occurs some times, even if run on same input

Debugging

• Print statements
• Error messages [EASY]
• Logic error [HARD]
