Parsing is a process in which programs split up blocks of information into understandable parts in order to analyze and evaluate the underlying structure. Programs can use these insights to derive instructions. When there’s a problem parsing the information package, apps cannot be installed for example. Find out how to fix parsing errors on Android here.
Module tests are one of the most effective methods of identifying as many errors in the source code as possible early on in the software development process. The special feature: the smallest isolatable components of a program are placed in a neutral test environment. If errors appear, it’s obvious they are occurring in the module being tested, which makes them easy to correct.
