SDD computing

• What is the focus of the learning intentions in the study material?

  Learning about the analysis state of the development methodology.
• What does success criteria indicate in the context of the analysis stage?


  It indicates understanding of inputs, processes, and outputs of a development problem.
• What are the stages in the development process?


  • Analysis
  • Design
  • Implementation
  • Testing
  • Documentation
  • Evaluation
• What mnemonic can be used to remember the order of the development stages?

  “A Dance In The Dark Everyday”
• What is the purpose of the analysis stage in development methodology?


  To identify the purpose and functional requirements of a problem.
• What are the components of the Input, Process, Output (IPO) model?


  • Input: Information taken in from the user
  • Process: Calculations performed by the program
  • Output: Information given back to the user
• What are the inputs, processes, and outputs for the program that determines points earned by a team?


  Inputs:

  • Valid number of hits scored by each of the six players

  
  

  Processes:

  • Calculate total hits
  • Calculate average hits (total/6)
  • Determine if points are earned

  
  

  Outputs:

  • Message if one point is earned
  • Message if additional points are earned
  • Message if no points are earned
• What is the output when the program calculates the total and average number of hits?


  A message indicating the points earned is displayed to the user.
• What is the purpose of identifying inputs, processes, and outputs in a development problem?


  To clarify the functional requirements related to design and implementation.
