This content descriptor sets out learning for Years 9 to 10 Digital Technologies. Use it to plan lessons and assessment with the Australian Curriculum v9.
Elaborations
- • Elaboration tracing and debugging an algorithm by identifying when its state is unexpected, why this has occurred, and the changes needed to correct it, for example identifying that a loop has finished one iteration too early
- • Elaboration determining boundary test cases and testing that they are handled correctly by a program, for example checking that an intersection is detected when 2 shapes are perfectly aligned
- • Elaboration generating invalid input and user errors and testing that they are handled appropriately by a program, for example checking that a program does not crash when text is entered instead of a number
