Code Development Code development for end user systems
Program Architecture The organization of code components The objective of system architecture is to simplify maintenance by putting code together that will be changed at the same time
Architectural Philosophies Requirements Driven n Data Driven n Dialog Driven n Event Driven n
Coding Standards n Structured Limit control structures to sequence, iteration, and selection n Event Driven Interactive systems driven by user actions n Object oriented Encapsulate data and code into objects that can be called independently
Good Code Maintenance is 80% of the cost of a large system. n Instructions that will be changed together located together. n Errors and bugs isolated. n
Traditional Design n Traditional Life Cycle Approach Formal Methodologies CASE Tools Purchased Systems n New Approaches RAD Evolutionary Code GUI design Object Oriented Design
Good Practice: Loose Coupling Associations among code modules n n Data Control codes Stamp Hybrid code passes only data passes data and control passes information from the structure of the data one module changes the in another
Good Practice: Tight Cohesion Functions done by one code module. A module is a set of code statements that is called and executed together. A cohesive module executes only statements that always go together.
Typical Modules in identified files n Macros and functions n Forms, Reports and Queries n Objects n
Programming Principles n KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) Volatility Prototyped code will be revised frequently. Simple solutions are much better than elegant ones that are hard to understand. Clarity over Efficiency EUC systems are usually elective and not run as production code.
Programming Principles n Code should be written to be read Good communication principles White space Boxes Indentation Explain complex logic Modular construction Very simple control structures Mnemonic variables
Programming Principles n Minimize external documentation Document the objective rather than the procedure. The next programmer can find his own solution too. Include descriptive and complete title lines Include an initial statement of program purpose Line comments hard to maintain
Programming Principles n Fully document data files Use labels and file descriptions Use original common data sources where possible Create as few original data tables as possible Document edits and modifications
Programming Principles n Retain natural documentation Keep instructional memos and notes in file Document objectives so that modules can be reprogrammed as needed
