Top-down design simplifies the design of code, but it can make debugging a little more complicated. Now bugs are potentially spread across multiple functions. In this video we look at an extended…

We made very sure that you had learned about testing before you started on your first assignment. That is because we want you testing while you are activtely writing your code, and not waiting until…

In this video we introduce the notion of an algorithm, which is an is a way of describing code (or any process) that is not limited to a specific programming language. You should always develop an…

Both specifications and testing are critical for the first assignment. But many students struggle with them because they are so “fuzzy”.To help you improve your skills here, we have are…

The only difference between a module and a script is how you run it. But we have seen Python files that do different things when you run them as a script or import them as a module. This is done with…

Now that program structure and program flow are different, debugging is going to get a lot harder. In this video we introduce a new element of white box testing – the trace. You will need to…

Python is unlike other languages in that it does not have a traditional notion of scope. You can create a variable inside of conditional, but still access that same variable outside of the…

Testing is not the same as debugging, but it is the correct first step. In this video, we show how to take the next step to isolate and remove errors in your code.

Many students in this course find that coming up with good test cases is far harder than writing code. That is because you have to design your test cases from the specification, before seeing any…

Before you start testing, you must have a testing plan. In this video we explain what these are, and how they fit into the software development process.
