Coding for Test

This course will examine the practices and procedures related to creating and debugging software. The curriculum will also prepare the student to write code, using initially a procedural approach and then migrating to an object oriented approach. A problem solving approach toward programming will be emphasized so the student can understand the processes involved in programming and ultimately testing and debugging the software. This course will introduce the following concepts: data types, creating and referencing variables, the three procedural programming concepts of sequence, selection, and repetition, data input validation, simple testing and bug hunting techniques. The concepts of objects as entities containing data values and methods will be developed throughout the course. Students will be introduced to the three foundation concepts of object oriented programming: encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. Students will write their own classes to create objects that will implement each of these concepts.
