1.3 Program Development Cycle

1. PROBLEM DEFINITION
Analyse and specify about the problem
What is the input?
What is the output
What are the process involve?
How is the output organized?

1.3 Program Development Cycle

2. ALGORITHM DESIGN
Reason: to clearly defines and understand the flows of the program
that will be design
Defined as a step-by-step sequence of instruction that must be
terminate
Describes how the data to be processed to produce desired output
Experience show that this steps will save a lot of times getting the
program to run

3. IMPLEMENTATION (CODING)
Translate the Algorithm into a programming language
This steps usually easier as gain experience with the language
Compile the written source code
Compiler will locates errors in using the programming language

Run the program on sample data

Verify the correctness of results

3. MAINTENANCE AND EVOLUTION OF THE SYSTEM
Usually these step are so called programmed update where some
modification of algorithm and coding are required
Usually, programmer update the feature in this step
4. OBSOLESCENE
As the written program become ages, it becomes practically
unusable or unsustainable to revise it, both economically and
practical ability.
