not using enough significant figures | ||||
subject | fact |
not using enough significant figures | forces the system to round excessively, which can mean that data is stored inaccurately and can also lead to a build-up of errors | |
has testing strategy perform calculations that involve many significant figures, and large differences in magnitude | ||
is a subtopic of 10.4 - Defects in Numerical Algorithms | ||
is a kind of defect in a numerical algorithm | ||
defect | has example the absence of code to handle an exception | |
problem | has solution which will normally entail developing software, although you may decide that it is better to purchase software or to develop a non-software solution | |
should be written as a simple problem statement in one or two sentences |
