8. The Design Process Flashcards
What are the four stages of the software design process?
- Analysis phase
- Design phase
- Implementation phase
- Testing phase
The ____ phase of software development defines a program’s goals.
analysis
The ____ phase of software development defines specifics of how to build a program.
design
The ____ phase of software development involves writing the program.
impementation
The ____ phase of software development checks that the programs correctly meets the goals.
testing
Another name for the agile approach to software development is the ____ approach.
spiral
In programming, a(n) ____ is a grouping of data (variables) and operations that can be performed on that data (functions).
object
____ means to have a user interact with an item at a high-level, with lower-level internal details hidden from the user.
Abstraction
Another term for abstraction is ____.
encapsulation
A(n) ____ data type is a data type whose creation and update are constrained to specific well-defined operations. A class can be used to implement this data type.
Abstract Data Type (ADT)
UML stands for ____.
Universal Modeling Language
___ is a modeling language for software design that uses different types of diagrams to visualize the structure and behavior of programs.
UML
What are the two main types of UML diagram?
- Structural diagram
- Behavioral diagram
A(n) ____ diagram visualizes static elements of software, such as the types of variables and functions used in the program.
structural
A(n) ____ diagram visualizes dynamic operations of software, such as the flow of an algorithm.
behavioral
A(n) ____ diagram is a behavioral diagram used to visually model how a user interacts with a software program.
use case
A(n) ____ diagram is a structural diagram that can be used to visually model the object blueprints of a computer program, including data members and functions.
class
A(n) ____is a code blueprint for creating an object that is composed of data members and functions that operate on those data members.
class
In a UML class diagram, what icon indicates that a class inherits the data member and functions of another class?
An arrow with a solid line and unfilled arrow head
In a UML class diagram, what icon indicates that a particular class “has” members of another class?
An unfilled diamond
A(n) ____ diagram is a behavioral diagram that shows interaction between software components and indicates the order of events.
sequence
What UML diagrams generally correspond to the four phases of the Software Development Life Cycle?
- Analysis phase: use case diagram
- Design phase: class diagram
- Implementation phase: activity diagram
- Testing phase: sequence diagram
There is not always a 1:1 correspondence between UML diagrams and phases of the SDLC. Diagrams can be used in multiple phases of the process.
