Hi,

Generally in Vbscript there are Two Types of Errors:
1)Syntax Errors
2)Runtime Errors

Syntax Errors:
For knowing how many errors are there & what are they ?
Use Tools --> "Check Syntax" option (Ctrl+F7) , then all the syntax errors will be displayed in Information pane.

Runtime Errors : You can use "ERR" object for retrieving the Error information.

One can run the script giving negative data as a test data and see the behaviour of the script, For logical error one has to have an approach of negative testing of the script.

hi Tariksheth,

Does ur answer is related to Baba Fakruddin's Question ?

[Tarik Sheth]

yes,
I think logical errors are more to deal with the scenarios under which the scripts will be running.

hi Tariksheth,

I acknowledge your explaination.

But what is the solution for below Question:

Well, one can use code analysis tool Like
1. FX cop(for C# code)
2. ParaSoft
3. Project analyzer( for VB code)
These kind of tools will be helpful in deisgn and test long functions and descriptive actions more useful.
