ICTPRG405 | AUTOMATE PROCESSES CREATE CODE | INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Tasks

You have been asked by your client to design and create code to automate a process.

1. Create a ‘guess the number’ game using the following brief:

• • The system automatically generates a number for the player to ‘guess’

• The players enter a number between 1 and 100.
• The system checks the ‘guessed’ number against the automatically generated number.
• Where the numbers match, the system generates a message saying ‘Congratulations! Your guess was correct.
• Where the numbers match, the system generates a message saying ‘Oops, that guess was not correct. Please try again!’

Complete the following tasks:

Part A

• Describe the problem that you are going to address by accurately identifying the client’s need from the brief?
• Develop an algorithm which describes the solution.
• Describe how the algorithm is an exact and sufficient description of the solution.
• Describe how the algorithm is guaranteed to end.
• Describe the structures of your algorithm including structure, sequence, selection, and iteration.
• Submit your algorithm and associated explanations to your assessor.

                                                                                           

  Part B

• Create an abstract design to fulfill the requirements of the proposed process.
• Review the design for omissions or errors.
• Select an appropriate language and explain your rationale.
• Translate the abstract design to the chosen language and document your process.
• Create internal documentation.
• Submit your designs and documentation to your assessor.

Part C

• Verify and review the script/code for syntax and semantic errors, identify areas that are not covered or are covered incorrectly in the script/code and document your findings.
• Create technical documentation.
• Create user documentation.
• Submit your script/code and documentation to your assessor.
