This is the quality assurance process for the ndex program. The process has a method of constructing a substantial regression test suite (see the Tests page that describes how every line of code is exercised in the programs, and all available command line options.) As a support metric for the program suite, the collateral documentation for the program(s) is about a hundred lines of collateral per one line of executable code. Virtually every line of code is commented, and striping the code from the source will give the pseudo code for the entire program. The GNU compiler, GCC, was used for development, with all warnings enabled. No errors or warnings were permitted. Memory allocation robustness, (memory boundary overruns and referencing of un-allocated areas,) was verified using Bruce Perens' "efence" library, c/o Pixar, 1001 West Cutting Blvd., Suite 200, Richmond, CA 94804, telephone (510) 215-3502, Bruce@Pixar.com. The sources were formated for consistency with the indent program, available via anonymous ftp from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ in /pub/gnu/indent.1.9.1.tar.gz. The process described is not comprehensive. However, it is probably minimally adequate for a useful and maintainable program. By no means can it be regarded as qualifying the program for mission critical applications.
