Study Notes

  • Implementation is writing code or programming with a specific language or tool to execute a designed solution.
  • Maintenance: Keeping a system, machine, or software in good working condition through ongoing processes.
  • Testing: Evaluating whether the program produces the expected outputs and behaves correctly, when the program is run with different inputs.
  • End user: The person who ultimately uses a software application or system.
  • Debugging: Identifying and fixing errors or "bugs" in the code that lead to unexpected behavior or incorrect outcomes.
  • Documentation contains all the paperwork needed to produce a program.
  • High-level programming language: Designed to be easily readable and writable for humans.
  • Low-level programming language is closer to the machine's native language.
  • Software development lifecycle: Systematic process with phases followed to produce high-quality software.
