Syntax Error

Logic Error

Overflow Error

Run-Time Error

Write test cases before writing the program

Hand tracing

Use visualizations

Test with many different test cases

Reviewing conditional statements that apply different rates based on input ranges.

Ensuring all variables are initialized before use.

Checking variable declarations for syntax errors.

Analyzing loop structures for off-by-one errors.

Choosing random parts of code to rewrite without testing them first.

Replacing all variables with constants in the program.

Reviewing the expected input-output relationships for accuracy.

Adding more features to distract from existing issues without solving them first.

Syntax errors

Overflow errors

Logic errors

Run-time errors

Because such systems help keep track of changes made, allowing easy reversion if new bugs emerge

As a means to completely automate the testing process

Because using version control alone guarantees that no errors will ever occur

To eliminate the need for writing documentation about changes made

Storing all records sequentially regardless of size

Balancing quick access against update costs

Prioritizing least-used records for faster removal

Using linear search methods exclusively for simplicity

To manage unexpected events gracefully without crashing the program.

To make sure all variables within the code are assigned a value at start-up.

To document every step taken by a user while using the application for analytics purposes.

To force all users to follow a particular path through the program's workflow.

Base case conditions are incorrectly specified or missing.

Print statements for debugging aren't providing clear information on each step's result.

Comments within the recursive function are misleading or incorrect.

There are syntax errors in variable declaration statements.

Syntax Error.

Logical Error.

Runtime Error.

Compilation Error.
