Q

program design

A

program specifications are used to develop an algorithm (steps program must do) for that program

19
Q

wireframe

A

visual representation of the overall design and logic of an application

20
Q

pseudocode

A

use English-like statements to outline the logic of a program, rather than a flowchart’s graphical symbols

21
Q

Unified modeling language (UML)

A

set of standard notations for creating business models

22
Q

control structure

A

illustrates when, how, and in what order the statements in a computer program, module, or method are performed; sequence controls structure-series of statements follow one another; selection control structure- multiple paths, direction depends on result of certain condition (ie if-then-else)

23
Q
  1. Repetition control structure (iteration control structure)
A

statements repeated in a loop until a particular condition is met

24
Q

program coding

A

writing code using programming language

25
Q

programming debugging and testing

A

process of ensuring a program is free of errors (bugs) and works as it is supposed to

26
Q

language translator

A

program that converts source code into object code

27
Q

interpreter

A

translates on line of code at a time

28
Q

assembler

A

converts assembly language programs into machine language

29
Q

logic errors

A

errors in logic of program; program will run, but with incorrect results

30
Q

Program implementation and maintenance

A

implementation-getting the test program installed and up and running; maintenance- updating software as needed so it continues to be useful
