Explanation:
Many programs have loops which are executed over and over again. This is normal behaviour for a program.

However, due to bad coding, or some other reason that usually has something to do with the end values of the loop, the program can get stuck indefinitely in a loop, that is, the statements in the loop go on being executed, and nothing seems to happen actually. The "hanging" of a program is an example.

Or conversely, the statements in a loop that should have been executed, are skipped altogether.

Both these cases are indicative of errors in the program, and any error-checking function would closely monitor the behaviour of looping statements in a program.

I think the text here refers to the behaviour of these looping statements. Whether loops were executed too many times or too few times.
