Testing and debugging are identical processes
Testing guarantees error-free programs
Debugging must be completed before testing
Testing reveals defects, while debugging locates and removes them
Compiled, low-level language
Purely interpreted, machine-dependent language
High-level, interpreted language with dynamic typing
Assembly-level procedural language
Python does not allow runtime errors
Python checks all errors at compile time
Python executes code line by line and reports errors immediately
Python programs are always shorter
