Document Summary

The process through which a problem specifications are transformed into a plan for building the software. Spending time and making a quality software design speeds up the implementation and leads to better software. Graduates should be able to deliver on the entire software from defining the task to its completion. Programming is no longer enough as current jobs need people prepared to deal with the entire process. Throughout the course we will discuss answers to the following questions: Identify root cause of problem and break it down in smaller manageable problems: develop problem-solving design plan, clarify the issues you are trying to solve, state your current hypothesis, list actions/information needed. Execute until the problem is solved, making modifications as necessary. Develop specifications: what programming language, use examples to illustrate problem jane (170 cm), john (169 cm), andrew (180 cm, output andrew (180 cm) Solution to the problem and documentation (cid:862)ho(cid:449)?
