reflect on what has been done well and what could be improved

a guide that outlines criteria and levels of achievement to evaluate work fairly and consistently

Evaluating the success of a programming project

Approaching a programming project

The project brief

Software design principles

Project design

Developing code for a programming project

Refining code for a programming project

Testing principles

Testing and refining a programming project

In this unit pupils will have the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge they have developed in previous programming units by approaching a practical project. They will apply software design, product design and testing principles to take their project from initial design to working prototype.

Python programming project

What word describes reflecting on what has been done well and what could be improved in a project?

It helps you develop skills for future work.

How does evaluating your project help you as a programmer?

what worked well and what could be improved

looking back at a project and judging its success

using a checklist to compare your work to success criteria

giving examples for what worked and what could be improved

Match each example to the correct concept:

use a rubric to check against success criteria

reflect on strengths and areas for improvement

Put these steps in the correct order for evaluating a programming project:

to support your comments with specific examples

What is the role of evidence in a strong evaluation?

to check whether a program works correctly and meets requirements

What is the main purpose of software testing?

testing whether different parts of the program work together

What do you call testing that does not require knowing how the code works inside?

Black box has no knowledge of code, white box does.

What is the main difference between black box and white box testing?

After testing, what process is used to remove errors from a program?
