This document provides a structured approach to developing a tuition billing program, including specifications, file descriptions, report layout, and processing requirements.

Methodology for Program Development • Tuition billing program • Specs • File descriptions • Report layout • Processing requirement • $200/cr • $25 union dues if a member (“Y” in that column) • Activity Fee based on the number of credits taken • Scholarship money • Print out report

Structured Design • Identification of tasks • Development of hierarchy chart • Must provide for every function • Evaluating the hierarchy chart • Completeness • Can’t break down any further • Functionality • Each module has a single function • Span of control

Structured Programming • Three logic structures • Sequence • Sequentially run instructions • Selection • If … Then…Else • Iteration • Do … While • Extension of the basic structure (case) • Many if … then • One entry point/one exit point • Sufficiency of the basic structure • Any logic can be formed from these above

Top-Down Testing • Testing each module you code in • Evaluation of Program logic • Program stubs • Continuous Testing
Summary • Specs • Design • Identify each task to be done • Hierarchy Chart • Logic • One entry & one exit point • Pseudocode • Testing as you go
