Introductory Message
Welcome to ICT 9!

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to guide


the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the contextualized
resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in acquiring the lifelong learning
skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and employment.

For learning facilitator:

The ICT 9 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning activities
specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-
face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with the
references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The ICT 9 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even if you are
not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities
for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the
instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned
to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

ICT 9 ACTIVITY SHEET


Process of Program Development

Learning Competency:
Analyze the dimensions of a problem using an iterative approach in development and
debugging.

Support Competencies:
1. Identify the steps in the program development process.

Background information for the learners


Program Development Life Cycle (PDLC) is a systematic way of developing quality
software. It provides an organized plan for breaking down the task of program
development into manageable chunks, each of which must be successfully completed before
moving on to the next phase.
In this lesson, you will learn about the different steps involved in the program
development process.

Activity 1.
The program development process is divided into the steps discussed below:
1. Defining the Problem
• The first step is to define the problem.
• The program specification defines a) data used in program, b) processing
that should take place while finding a solution, c) format of the output
and the user interface.

2. Designing the Program


• Program design starts by focusing on the main goal that the program is
trying to achieve and then breaking the program into manageable
components. This approach of program design is called top-bottom
program design or modular programming.
• Top-bottom program design involve a) identifying main routine, which is
the one of program’s major activity, b) divide the various components of
the main routine into smaller parts called modules.
• A program design tool is used to visualize how each module will do its
assign job.
Program Design Tools include:
a) Algorithm
b) Flowcharts
c) Pseudocode - is a plain language description of the steps in an
algorithm. Pseudocode often uses structural conventions of a normal
programming language, but is intended for human reading rather
than machine reading.
3. Coding the Program
• Coding the program means translating an algorithm into specific
programming language such as Java, C++, Phyton, Java Script, C, and other
languages.
• The technique of programming using only well-defined control structures is
known as Structured programming.
• Programmer must follow the language rules, violation of any rule
causes error. These errors must be eliminated before going to the next step.

4. Testing and Debugging the Program


• After removal of syntax errors, the program will execute. However, the output
of the program may not be correct. This is because of logical error in the
program.
• A logical error is a mistake that the programmer made while designing the
solution to a problem. So, the programmer must find and correct logical
errors by carefully examining the program output using Test data.
• Syntax error and Logical error are collectively known as Bugs. The process of
identifying errors and eliminating them is known as Debugging.

5. Documenting the Program


After testing, the software project is almost complete.
This phase ends by:
a) writing a manual that provides an overview of the program’s functionality,
b) tutorials for the beginner, in-depth explanations of major program features,
reference documentation of all program commands and a thorough
description of the error messages generated by the program.

6. Deploying and Maintaining the Program


• In this final phase, the program is deployed (installed) at the user’s site.
• Even after the software is completed, it needs to be maintained and evaluated
regularly.
• In software maintenance, the programming team fixes program errors and
updates the software.

Copy the diagram and fill it with the different steps as to how program development is being
process.
Activity 2.
Identify to which step of program development do the following processes belong. Write
the letter of your choice. Write the answer in your pad paper.

A. Define the problem C. Coding the program E. Documenting the program


B. Designing the program D. Testing and Debugging F. Deploying and
the program Maintaining the program

1. Writing of manual for the user to know the functionality of the program.
2. Identifying and eliminating program errors.
3. Determining what program design tool is used to visualize how each
module will do its corresponding tasks.
4. Identifying what will be the data to be used and how it will be processed in
order to find solution to the problem.
5. The program/software is now ready to be deployed at the user’s site.
6. Identifying what programing language will be used for program coding.
7. Fix program errors and software updating.
8. Provide tutorial as to how the program will operate.

Activity 3.
Multiple choice. Select the letter of your choice.

1. The type of error made by programmer during program design is called____.


a. Logical b. Syntax c. Run-time d. None of the above
2. What step in program development that allows the programmer to provide tutorial as
to familiariaze with use the program or software.
a. Coding b. Testing and Debugging c. Designing d. Documenting
