Unit 13: Systematic Approach to Problem Solving
13.1.1 Analysis Analysis: The definition of a problem and the establishment of the system
requirements and data models necessary to solve the problem, after the
necessary research

13.1.2 Design Design: The planning and specification of the data structures, algorithms,
modules and interfaces necessary for the solution to the problem

13.1.3 Implementation Implementation: Writing the code necessary to create the algorithms and
data structures from the design phase, in an iterative process of prototyping

13.1.4 Testing Acceptance Testing: A component of testing with the intended users to
ensure the intended solution is met.
Boundary Data: Test input data that lies on the boundary of the system’s
expected range.
Erroneous Data: Test input data that lies outside of the system's expected
range.
Normal Data: Test input data that lies within the system's expected range.
Should return expected output.
Testing: Running implementations to check for the presence of errors, using
selected test data covering normal, boundary and erroneous data.

13.1.5 Evaluation Evaluation: The judgement of the system to check if it has met the required
criteria to be an effective solution to the initial problem.
