Abstract
Software source code is the most frequently read software artifact. This chapter surveys the most common code functionality and evolvability failure modes and their root causes and devises the failure-modes-based code reading that uses the common code failure modes and root causes to guide code reading. The chapter ends with an example to illustrate the application of the reading techniques in practice.
