Listen "Higher Software Design and Development Course Overview "
Episode Synopsis
This podcast provides a comprehensive overview of software design and development, with a particular focus on modular programming. They explain the advantages of breaking down code into reusable sub-programs, enhancing readability, maintainability, and error identification. Different development methodologies are explored, including the iterative (waterfall) model and agile approaches like Scrum and Rapid Application Development (RAD), highlighting their respective strengths in project management and client involvement. Furthermore, the sources detail computational constructs, such as data types (simple and structured), predefined functions, and standard algorithms like linear search. They also cover essential aspects of software quality assurance, including testing techniques (systematic, comprehensive, dry runs, trace tables, breakpoints, watchpoints) and evaluation criteria (fitness for purpose, efficiency, usability, maintainability, robustness).
