Program Development Cycle

Analysis - Before any problem can be solved, it needs to be clearly defined and set out so anyone who
works on it knows what's happening. Abstraction and Decomposition tools are used.
In analysis you divide the problem into subproblems

Design - It uses the specifications from the analysis stage and uses it to show how the program will work.
This includes Flowcharts, Structure Diagrams, Pseudocode.

Coding - The modules of the program from the deisgn stage are written in program code. Like Python,
Java, or Visual Basic etc. Iterative testing means that module tests are conducted testing each part of
the program until the module works as expected.

Testing - The completed program is used and tested with test data to ensure all parts of the
program work.

Decomposition of a Problem

Inputs - The data required by the system while its active


Processes - the tasks being performed by the system while its active
Outputs - The data displayed to users using the system
Storage - The data that needs to be stored in a file for the future

PRECAUTION - TALKED ABOUT TOP DOWN DIAGRAM AND STRUCTURE DIAGRAM IN SESSION. PLEASE
BEG FOR THE RECORDING THAT DOESN'T EXIST.

Asterisk * - Multiply
+ - Add
Minus (-) - Subtract
/ - Dvivide
^ - To the power of 2^2
() - Paranthesis/Groups

Test Data - A set of test data is all the items of data required to work through a solution

An example used below is 1-100 inclusive


Normal - Within Range, e.g 50, 99, 2
Abnormal - Outside range, e.g 105, -49, 169894.234
Extreme - At the range, 100 or 1
Boundary - +- on the range, 1 & 0, 100 & 101. It must have one extreme and one right next to extreme
