    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_programming

    Defensive programming is an approach to improve software and source code, in terms of: General quality – reducing the number of software bugs and problems. Making the source code comprehensible – the source code should be readable and understandable so it is approved in a code audit. Making the software behave in a predictable manner ...
