Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake introductory programming tasks using an object-oriented programming language, including tool usage, documentation, debugging, and testing techniques.It applies to individuals who are programmers in a variety of fields and who are required to produce simple 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. Apply basic language syntax and layout
  • 1.1 Apply basic language syntax rules and best practices
  • 1.2 Select and use language data types, operators and expressions, in order to create clear and concise code
  • 1.3 Use the appropriate language syntax for sequence, selection and iteration constructs
  • 1.4 Use a modular programming approach within member or function logic
  • 1.5 Apply arrays, including arrays of objects to introductory programming tasks
  • 1.6 Use standard-array processing algorithms
  • 1.7 Use the facilities of the language to read and write data, from and to, text files, and record the outcomes
2. Apply basic object-oriented principles in the target language
  • 2.1 Implement a class that contains primitive member or instance variables
  • 2.2 Implement a class that contains multiple options for object construction
  • 2.3 Implement a class that uses user-defined aggregation (object instance or member variables)
  • 2.4 Use the facilities of the language to implement inheritance, to at least two levels
  • 2.5 Use polymorphism at a simple level through inheritance, to enable the easy extension of the code
3. Debug the code
  • 3.1 Use the language debugging facilities of an integrated development environment (IDE)
  • 3.2 Interpret the compiler or interpreter messages to resolve syntax errors, and use debugging techniques to resolve logic errors
4. Document the activities
  • 4.1 Follow organisational guidelines for developing maintainable code, and adhere to the provided coding standards, when documenting activities
  • 4.2 Apply internal documentation to all the code created, and use the documentation tools available in the target language, when documenting activities
5. Test the code
  • 5.1 Create and conduct simple tests, to confirm that the code meets the design specification
  • 5.2 Document the tests performed and the results achieved
6. Create an application
  • 6.1 Develop a solution, when provided with a basic object-oriented design document
  • 6.2 Refer to the appropriate documentation for the language
