the problem.

 You will need to specify what the

computer program does by
separating it into a set of well-
defined and manageable chunks
that are reasonably self-
contained.
PSEUDOCODE
 a term often used in programming
and algorithm-based fields.
 It is a procedure that allows the
computer programmer to
characterize the application of an
algorithm.
 It is merely an implementation of
an algorithm in the form of
annotations and informative text
written in plain English.
ALGORITHM
- It is an organized, logical sequence
of the movements or the approach
towards a particular problem.
FLOWCHART
- is a graphical representation of an
algorithm.
Computer programmers frequently
use it as
a program-planning tool to solve a
specific problem
IMPLEMENTATION
 During this stage, it creates a
step-by-step procedure to solve
the problem using the
requirement given in the earlier
stage.
TESTING AND DEBUGGING
- In this stage, we see whether the
code was written in the previous step
is solving the specified problem or
not. That means we test the program,
whether it is solving the problem for
several input information values or
not.
- DEBUGGING is the process of
finding and correcting errors in your
program.
PROGRAM MODULES
INTEGRATION TESTING
TWO TYPES OF TESTING
1. BLACK BOX
2. WHITEBOX
BLACKBOX TESTING
- gets its name from the concept of
testing the program without knowing
what is inside it and without knowing
how It works.
WHITEBOX TESTING
- testing assumes that the tester
knows everything about the program.
PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION
- Documentation usually contains the
necessary information about the
program requirements
- It also includes technical data such
as who created the program, whom
to contact in case of a problem with
the program, and instructions on the
use and maintenance of the program.

MAINTENANCE
- At this stage, the computer program
is actively used by the users. If any
improvements are found in this
stage, all the steps are to be repeated
to make the enhancements.
- This final stage in programming is
maintaining or updating the program.
- This is the phase where the
programmer has to keep the program
running smoothly and updated with
the developments and changes in the
field where it is use
