Terms in this set (30)



Abnormal data Data that is rejected by a program


Abstraction A method used in the analysis stage of the program development life
cycle; the key elements required for the solution to the problem are
kept and any unnecessary details and information that are not required
are discarded


Algorithm An ordered set of steps to solve a problem


Analysis Part of the program development life cycle; a process of investigation,
leading to the specification of what a program is required to do


Boundary data The largest/smallest data value that is accepted by a program and the
corresponding smallest/largest rejected data value
