Testability Tips

Try to close/kill all the data objects once they have been used

Data flow anomalies and control flow problems can be detected by keeping all the p-uses at the same program level

Don't worry much about the wastage of space such as creating object aliases, utilizing unassigned bits with in bytes etc. Keep the data structures cleaner and references more consistent

Try to use strongly types and user-defined types if supported by the source language

If the language does not support strong typing, enforce it using a pre-processor

Use a pre-processor to enforce strong typing if not supported by the language

Use explicit declaration of all data objects even if it is not mandatory for the language processor

Keep all data declarations at the beginning of the routine
