Testing and Debugging

Learning Intention

• Determine sets of suitable test data, including:

  • boundary values

  • path coverage

  • faulty and abnormal data

• Determine typical errors experienced when developing code, including syntax, logic and runtime, and explain their likely causes.

• Use debugging tools, including:

  • breakpoints

  • single line stepping

  • watches

  • interfaces between functions

  • debugging output statements

  • debugging software available in an integrated development environment (IDE)

Success Criteria

• I can compare and apply boundary value, path coverage and faulty and abnormal data testing.

• I can identify, explain and fix syntax, logical and runtime errors.

• I can use a range of debugging tools in a Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
