VCDTCD052
Design algorithms represented diagrammatically and in structured English and validate algorithms and programs through tracing and test cases
Elaborations
-
designing algorithms to solve real-world problems and describing algorithms using flow charts and structured English, for example START, END, IF and UNTIL
-
recognising that different algorithms can solve a problem with different trade-offs
-
tracing algorithms to predict results and program state for a given input, for example desk checking or using an interactive debugging tool
-
using tracing techniques to test algorithms, for example desk checking an algorithm for a given input by stepping through the algorithm while keeping track of contents of the variables
-
developing test cases that correspond to the requirements of the specifications, for example validating program behaviour on a range of valid and invalid user input
