Detecting Errors in Programs

Abstract

A review of work on the occurrence and detection of errors in computer programs is presented. This includes: experiments to measure the frequency and distribution of errors; the use of simulation to determine the effect of typing mistakes; data flow analysis for static error detection; and measures to quantify program testing.
