8.3.3 Developing software solutions





  • defining and understanding the problem
    • preparation of initial documentation 
  • planning and designing
    • identification of a suitable development approach
    • design of appropriate algorithms
    • identification and incorporation of appropriate existing algorithms
    •  determination of appropriate data structures
    • identification of relevant subroutines
    • design of test data and expected output
    • desk check of algorithms
    • identification of existing code that can be used
  • implementing
    •  coding the solution in an appropriate language
    •  testing using test data
    • documenting the solution, including:
    • algorithms 
    • test data and expected output
    • data dictionary
    • user documentation
  • testing and evaluating
    •  testing of the solution using test data
    • evaluating the implemented solution
  • maintaining
    •  modifying the solution to meet original or changed specifications




•       apply the steps in the software development cycle when developing solutions
