Answer 1

-analysis
-design
-implementation
-testing
-documentation

Question 2

what is the analysis stage?

Answer 2

The software developer meets with the client to understand the requirements and explain exactly what they need the program to do.

Question 3

what is the design stage?

Answer 3

The developers plan how to solve the problem using design notations like flowcharts, structure diagrams or pseudocode

Question 4

what is the implementation stage?

Answer 4

The programming team write the actual code to solve the problem

Question 5

what is the testing stage?

Answer 5

teams will run the software many times with different inputs to check that correct outputs are returned

Question 6

what is the documentation stage?

Answer 6

A technical guide and a user guide are created for the end users to help them use the software

Question 7

what is the evaluation stage?

Answer 7

The software’s robustness, efficiency and code readability are examined

Answer 14

When stages of the process need to be revisited or repeated

Question 15

what are the 3 standard algorithms?

<

Question 18

what is extreme test data?

Answer 18

Data at the lower and upper limits of the range

Question 19

what is normal test data?

Answer 19

Data that you would expect to work or be accepted

Question 20

what is exceptional test data?

Answer 20

Data that should not be accepted by the program

Question 21

what does robust mean?

Answer 21

robust is when the program can handle different outputs without crashing

Question 22

what is a running total within a loop?

Answer 22

it is a fixed loop which is used to very efficiently traverse the array and add up each of the numbers in turn

Question 23

what is traversing an array?

Answer 23

when you go through every item in a list

Question 24

what is input validation?

Answer 24

a conditional loop which keeps asking for an input until a valid value is entered

Question 25

what are the 3 types of design?

Answer 25

-pseudocode
-structure diagram
-flowchart

Question 26

what is a standard algorithm?

Answer 26

it is a series of steps a program takes to solve a problem

Question 27

what is a 1-D array?

Answer 27

the simplest form of an array in which all of the values are stored linearly
