Program Plan Intro

Programming mistakes:

  • A fault in a program denotes a bug and process of elimination of bugs is termed as debugging.
  • A bug denotes an error, failure or fault in a program that may generate improper result.
  • The process of fixing bugs is termed as debugging.
  • Some of computer systems are able to deter, detect or auto correct different computer bugs during operations.
  • The bugs arise from errors made in source code of program.
  • The bugs can cause program to freeze computer in terms of processing.

Types of program errors:

  • The three main types of program error includes:
    • Syntax errors:
      • The compiler catches certain mistakes and denotes an error message.
      • It denotes violation of syntax of programming language.
      • The compiler issues an error message if syntax is been violated.
      • The compiler sometimes raises a warning message while any unusual programming practices.
    • Run-time errors:
      • It denotes type of error that system detects when a program is run.
      • The system may detect certain run-time errors and displays appropriate error message.
      • It may be an issue with numeric calculations.
    • Logic error:
      • It denotes a mistake in underlying algorithm.
      • It may be an issue while translation of algorithm to program code.
      • It denotes that there is no error in syntax while the result obtained is not as expected by user.
      • These types of errors could be corrected by careful examination of algorithm and translation.

Draw a system/level-0 diagram for this scenario: You are developing a new customer relationship management system for the BEC store, which rents out movies to customers. Customers will provide comments on new products, and request rental extensions and new products, each of which will be stored into the system and used by the manager for purchasing movies, extra copies, etc. Each month, one employee of BEC will select their favorite movie pick of that week, which will be stored in the system. The actual inventory information will be stored in the Entertainment Tracker system, and would be retrieved by this new system as and when necessary. Example of what a level-0 diagram looks like is attached.
