Front 1

File names should include which three pieces of information about the file?

Back 1

The content of the data, the version of the file, and the purpose

Front 2

What pattern should variable and object names follow?

Front 3

This type of software design tool uses structured English that is similar to actual programming language. This software design tool is called...

Back 3

Pseudocode

Front 4

This type of software design tool displays steps within closed-box diagrams, with individual steps written inside boxes. This software design tool is called...

Back 4

An N-S diagram

Front 5

What is the purpose of test data?

Back 5

To ensure that the program performs as intended

Front 6

What are the four things that test data should be designed to test for?

Back 6

That the program performs as intended under normal circumstances, that the program does not produce faulty information or stop working, that all logic possible logic functions work as intended, and that data validation works as intended

Front 7

What is alpha testing?

Back 7

Testing that ensures that the applications works according to design specification and that there are no major bugs

Front 8

What is beta testing?

Back 8

Testing that ensures that bugs that occur when the program interacts with unprecedented software are eliminated

Front 9

What is process testing?

Back 9

Using previously designed test data to ensure the program's processes function as intended

Front 10

What is layout testing?

Back 10

Ensuring that the program is laid out in a way that meets the requirements of the solution

Front 11

What are the two main common criteria that layout testing covers?

Back 11

Ensuring that input and output information are formatted differently, and that different types of information are formatted differently, to ensure readability and ease of use

Front 12

What are four different debugging techniques?

Back 12

Testing each module, tracking variables, stepping through code, using in-built debugging tools

Front 13

How do you debug a program by testing each module?

Back 13

Test each module, using previously designed test data, separately before linking it with other parts

Front 14

How do you debug a program by tracking variables?

Back 14

Add extra print or display lines that can display variable values throughout the program, rather than at certain points

Front 15

How do you debug a program by stepping through code?

Back 15

By going through the code, line by line (ie. proofreading)
