PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
 UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM
 Reading the requirements statement carefully.

May 6, 2021
BFF2003: LECTURE 1
 Review our understanding with the user and the systems
analyst.

 Involves asking questions to confirm our understanding.

 DEVELOP THE SOLUTION
 Once we understand the problem, and clarified any

May 6, 2021
questions we may have, we need to develop our solution.

BFF2003: LECTURE 1
 We use three tools:
 Structure
charts
 Pseudocode
 Flowcharts

8
 STRUCTURE CHARTS
 A hierarchy chart

BFF2003: LECTURE 1
 Shows the functional flow through our program.

 To break our program into logical steps each step will

be a separate module. We can see the interaction between
all the parts (modules) of our program.

9
 STRUCTURE CHARTS
 Assume the following answer:

The purpose of calculating the square footage is to
install new floor covering.

BFF2003: LECTURE 1
Only the living space will be carpeted. The garage and
closets will not be considered.

The kitchen and bathrooms will be covered with

linoleum; the rest of the house is to be carpeted.

 WRITE THE PROGRAM

May 6, 2021
 Before start write the program, review the steps that
we’ve used first.

BFF2003: LECTURE 1
 Start writing the program with the top box on the
structure chart and work our way to the bottom.

16
 TEST THE PROGRAM

May 6, 2021
 Program testing can be a very tedious and time-
consuming part of program development.

BFF2003: LECTURE 1
 Twotypes of testing:
Blackbox- by system test engineer/ the user
Whitebox-by the programmer.
