Runtime errors surface when a program
runs into an unexpected condition or situation
such as dividing by zero, memory overflow, or
addressing a wrong or unauthorized memory
location or device, or when a program tries to
perform an illegitimate or unauthorized operation
or tries to access a library, for example.
The programs must be thoroughly tested for
various types of inputs (valid data sets, invalid
data sets and boundary value data sets) and
conditions to identify these errors. Once identified,
runtime errors are easy to fix.
