Document Summary

Reminders: friday: discussion, read the textbook materials uploaded on courselink, every other friday, there will be a quiz. Course concepts problem solving in design design challenges scientific method debugging. Prioritize them: a prioritized checklist is an excellent management tool because they ensure that the most important tasks are taken care of first and less-important tasks are given importance only when the prioritized tasks have been completed. Reflection: have you ever run into this type of problem before, did you write down what the problem was and how you solved it, working with the past you (experiences), the you now, and the future you (preparation) Do you know enough about the problem: more testing never hurts refer to appropriate documents like specifications, design docs, etc. Develop a testing plan first: how will you know if your plan has worked, regression testing making use of the tests that you previously ran (something to refer to)
