Welcome to IWETHEY!

New More:

  • Test every line of code, but more importantly, test every path through the code.
    Let's say you have the following pseudocode:
    \nif (x == z)\n    // do something with foo\nendif\n\nif (y == q)\n    // do something else with foo\nendif\n\n// do another thing with foo\n

    Then you should have 4 tests for this piece of code: x != z and y != q, x = z and y != q, x != z and y = q, x = z and y = q.

  • Test all boundary conditions. If you have some code like "if (x > 5)", then pass it x = 4, x = 5, and x = 6.

  • Test for null objects. Pass nulls into places and see what happens.

Regards,
