Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake intermediate level programming tasks using an object-oriented programming language.It applies to programmers in a variety of fields who are required to produce programs in object-oriented languages.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Build applications using the provided language utilities
  • 1.1 Review the program requirements
  • 1.2 Divide multiple source-code files into logical units and packages
  • 1.3 Use at least two of the utilities of the target language, allowing for the internal storage of collections of data
  • 1.4 Use the utilities of the target language, providing internal data-sorting and searching facilities
  • 1.5 Employ integrated-development environment facilities, to make files to automate program building
  • 1.6 Follow the guidelines for developing maintainable code, adhering to coding standards
  • 1.7 Use the facilities in the language for persisting objects to binary files
  • 1.8 Use the operator and function or method overloading facilities available in the language, at an introductory level
  • 1.9 Use exception-handling techniques to ensure program stability
  • 1.10 Use of a class that is based on multiple inheritances
2. Write programs that interact with a database
  • 2.1 Design and implement programs that connect to a database
  • 2.2 Design and implement programs that use the language facilities to extract, update, and delete data stored in a database
  • 2.3 Design and implement programs that use the language facilities to manipulate database structure (query, create and delete)
  • 2.4 Write programs that deliver transactional integrity
3. Write the graphical user interface
  • 3.1 Employ the graphical user interface (GUI) framework, or text windowing interface, appropriate to the chosen language
  • 3.2 Use standard GUI components
  • 3.3 Use the facilities within the language for GUI objects to respond to user and program-generated events
4. Debug the application
  • 4.1 Use stand-alone debugging tools, or tools provided by the integrated development environment, to examine variables, and trace the running code
  • 4.2 Use the debugger to detect logical and coding errors
  • 4.3 Use the tracing of code and examination of variable contents during execution, to detect and correct errors
5. Test the application
  • 5.1 Design and document limited tests of code
  • 5.2 Undertake limited testing of the produced code to ensure that it complies with the program specification
  • 5.3 Capture and document the test results
6. Create and maintain documentation
  • 6.1 Read and interpret the supplied design document, to create the code
  • 6.2 Create and maintain program documentation
