3.3 Developing the solution

Structure and Description of content needed for Programming Project
Development

3.3.1 Iterative development process AS part of the development process you will need to evidence the creation of your solution as you develop it. This should be conducted in the form of regular updates that explains:

  • What you are currently working on (making, researching, testing, etc…)
  • What Success criterion this relates to (SC1, SC2, etc…)
  • A description as to what you are doing.
  • A Justification as to why you have chosen to complete the activity to help meet the success criterion. 
  • Visual evidence of what you are doing supported with a number caption. 

3.3.2 Testing to inform development 

Testing
During your Development Log you should give evidence of testing. Ideally this should be formalised testing using a testing table for each stage in the development, At the very least you should DESCRIBE and ANNOTATE what you are testing and how you will test that specific area. 

Fixes
You will need to identify and record ACTION you have taken to fix problems. You should state:

  • What the problem was.
  • What it was related to. 
  • How you identified the problem (what test)
  • How you have fixed it.
  • Justify why you needed to fix it to meet your success criteria
