Testing Activities During Design

Design intimately involves testing. The analysis of the program during design suggests test cases. What cannot be proven must be asserted or tested.

During architectural design, requirements suggest pre- and post- conditions. Some designs bring up their own issues (like zero-divide). Every requirement generates at least one test case.

Termination is its own unique problem.
