Document Summary

We discussed 2 uses for the term interface in the course. What are they: way to call function/modules- function prototype. Programmer: the information user sees interacts with. What are the two short phrases used to describe the inheritance and aggregation relationships: isa, has. What does high fan in indicate: long inheritance line strive for lower level of hierarchy, common low level to common module, modularize, increase portability. When do you stop dividing parts of the system in a top down design: when it becomes trivial no longer useful to break it down, pieces break down farther. What is the goal of preparation in a software design project: minimize risk. Is there a situation when a sequential development process is better than iterative process: stable, design is well understood, little risk. Up to what percentage of a program is devoted to error processing: 90%
