Defensive Coding

Defensive coding is an approach to improve software and source code in terms of

• General Quality
• Reduces the number of bugs or problems in the software. This is achieved by Automated Code Testing. So this
• Improves Quality 
• Confirms Maintenance
• Reduce Bugs
• Comprehensible 
• Making the source code more comprehensible. Source code should be readable and understandable so that other developers who touch it can understand and they won't create any bug when they modify the code. Also, this helps approved in a code audit. This is achieved by Clean Code practices. So this
• Improves Comprehension
• Simplifies Maintainance
• Reduce Bugs
• Predictability
• Making the software behave in a predictable manner despite unexpected inputs or actions. This is achieved by Validation and Exception Handling. So this
• Improves Predictability
• More consistent
• Reduce Bugs
