Introduce the problem solving methodology and its use in applied computing
Design how the solution will function and appear by identifying the specific data required and how it will be named, structured, validated and manipulated.
Use design tools, including data dictionaries, input–process–output (IPO) charts, object descriptions and pseudocode.
Use design tools to show the relationships between the components of a solution, including storyboards, site maps, structure charts, context diagrams and data flow diagrams.
Design the visual components of the solution, including the user interface, reports and any graphic representations or data visualisations generated.
Identify the position and size of text, images and graphics, font types and styles, colours and text enhancements.
Use design tools, including layout diagrams, annotated diagrams and mock-ups.
Design tests to ensure the solution will achieve what it is intended to do.
Determine what tests need to be performed, what test data needs to be included and the expected result after the test is conducted.
