Perform coding for simple business problems

​

This standard is about undertaking coding for simple business problems.

It involves applying the basic concepts and techniques of developing programs for problem solving. This includes using an integrated coding development tool to design, implement, test, debug, and deploy simple programs.

This standard is for those who need to recognise and resolve routine digital technology problems to meet their own needs or as part of their duties.

​

1. Plan a software program to solve a well defined business problem specification

2. Design algorithms to handle user inputs and process data for simple problems in line with organisational procedures

3. Produce code using basic programming constructs to a given design in line with organisational procedures

4. Apply stepwise refinement to solve problems iteratively to produce the required functionality

5. Debug and test software programs to identify and resolve  programming defects

6. Apply notation to software programs to identify programming features and variables to improve maintainability in line with organisational standards

7. Document a program by producing release notes and guidance to assist users to operate the software correctly
