== Dynamic checking of exceptions ==
{{unsourcedsection|date=February 2025}}
The point of exception handling routines is to ensure that the code can handle error conditions. In order to establish that exception handling routines are sufficiently robust, it is necessary to present the code with a wide spectrum of invalid or unexpected inputs, such as can be created via software [[fault injection]] and [[mutation testing]] (that is also sometimes referred to as [[fuzz testing]]). One of the most difficult types of software for which to write exception handling routines is protocol software, since a robust protocol implementation must be prepared to receive input that does not comply with the relevant specification(s).
