AP Computer Science Principles Exam

Study Guide Solutions


Agile software development - ANSWER✔✔-An approach to software development that emphasizes a

flexible and ready response to meet a shifting target.


Benchmarking - ANSWER✔✔-Running a program on many data sets to be sure its performance falls

within required limits; timing the same algorithm on two different machines.


Code library - ANSWER✔✔-A collection of thoroughly tested object code for various useful tasks.


Coding - ANSWER✔✔-The process of translating the detailed designs into computer code.


Divide-and-conquer - ANSWER✔✔-A program design strategy in which tasks are broken down into

subtasks, which are broken down into sub-subtasks, and so on, until each piece is small enough to code

comfortably. These pieces work together to accomplish the total job.


Empirical testing - ANSWER✔✔-Designing a special set of test cases and running the program using

these test data.


Executable module - ANSWER✔✔-The resulting object code after a linker inserts requested code from

code libraries.

External documentation - ANSWER✔✔-Any materials assembled to clarify the program's design and

implementation.


Feasibility study - ANSWER✔✔-A step in the software development life cycle that evaluates a proposed

project and compares the costs and benefits of various solutions.


Integrated development environment (IDE) - ANSWER✔✔-A collection of programs that support

software development, such as debuggers, editors, toolkits, and libraries, that lets programmers perform

several tasks within the shell of a single application.


Integration testing - ANSWER✔✔-After unit testing, integration testing is done to see that the modules

communicate the necessary data between and among themselves and that all modules work together

smoothly.


Internal documentation - ANSWER✔✔-Documentation that is part of the program code itself.


Logic error - ANSWER✔✔-An error in the algorithm used to solve a problem.


Object code - ANSWER✔✔-Machine language instructions.


Pair programming - ANSWER✔✔-Involves two programmers at a single workstation. At any given point in

time, one is writing code and the other is actively observing, watching for possible errors


but also thinking about the overall approach.

Problem specification - ANSWER✔✔-A step in the software development life cycle that involves


developing a clear, concise, and unambiguous statement of the exact problem the software


is to solve.


Procedural language - ANSWER✔✔-A program written in a procedural language consists of sequences of

statements that manipulate data items.


Program design phase - ANSWER✔✔-A step in the software development life cycle that plans the

structure of the software to be written.


Program maintenance - ANSWER✔✔-The process of adapting an existing software product due to errors,

new system requirements, or changing user needs.


Program verification - ANSWER✔✔-Used to prove that if the input data to a program satisfies certain

conditions, then, after the program has been run on these data, the output data satisfies certain other

conditions.


Regression testing - ANSWER✔✔-If anything is changed on an already-tested module, regression testing

is done to be sure that this change has not introduced a new error into code that was previously correct.


Runtime error - ANSWER✔✔-An error that occurs when the program is run using certain sets of data

that result in some illegal operation, such as dividing by zero.
