Reunaaitoja
Reunaaitoja, also known as "edge cases" in English, are specific scenarios or conditions that occur at the boundaries or limits of a system, process, or dataset. These cases are often overlooked in standard testing and development but are crucial for ensuring the robustness and reliability of a system. Edge cases can reveal hidden bugs, performance issues, or security vulnerabilities that might not be apparent under normal operating conditions.
In software development, edge cases might include extreme values, such as the maximum or minimum allowable
In data analysis, edge cases could involve outliers or rare events that significantly deviate from the norm.
In user experience design, edge cases might involve scenarios where users interact with a system in unexpected
Effective management of edge cases requires thorough testing, including boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, and stress
