Developing an Error-Based Testing Strategy

For more complete testing, you need to find and simulate possible error conditions in a system. Many methods throw exceptions when an error occurs. And although the application’s code catches many of these exceptions, an "unhandled" error condition could lead to unpredictable
events and big problems for customers. Rather than using only intuition to guide your error testing, join Christopher Shelley for a strategy to identify specific error conditions in your systems. Sharing sample code, he offers tips and hints for finding these often hidden defects in software. Then, he explains ways to devise specific error injection tests that expose these problems to the developers. Learn the skills you need to find unhandled exceptions within the source code and make sure that your code is exercised through all decision trees and error traps.
