Generate Phase

What happens in the Generate Phase?

During the generate phase you will convert the plans from the development phase into code.

You will need to:

• use the basic features of our programming language (Python).

• apply programming good practice including testing.

• you will coding using the Object Orientated Programming and Event Driven Programming paradigms and the MVC Architecture Pattern.

Tools used to complete the Generate phase:

• Mind Maps

• QT Designer

• Annotated Code

• Integrated Testing Table

• Unit Testing Table

To generate solutions, students:

• use design and systems thinking processes to synthesise acquired information, ideas and skills to

  • generate individual components of a preferred solution

  • generate and refine a preferred solution in response to new or existing information

• use design thinking to evaluate and respond to the results of alpha testing

• use systems and design thinking to construct a solution and communicate knowledge and understanding of the solution.[QCAA, 2017]
