Code Walk Throughs
- Another commonly used testing mechanism is a code walk through.
- Another programmer walks through your code and tries to understand
it.
- You can explain it to them, but they should be able to read the
comments to understand it.
- This helps by spreading the knowledge, someone else knows how
it works.
- It helps because you can maintain standards (like variable
naming conventions).
- It helps because another set of eyes can find bugs you didn't
consider.
- Mostly it helps because you know your not done until you can
defend your code to someone else.
