This matching question assumes that you have read the content in Chapter 1 of C++ Plus Data Structures .
Please match the terms on the left with the definitions to the right.
| 1. | Algorithm | a) | An unusual, generally unpredictable event, detectable by software or hardware, that requires special processing; the event may or may not be erroneous |
| 2. | Requirements | b) | Tracing an execution of a design or program on paper |
| 3. | Abstraction | c) | The ability of a program to recover following an error; the ability of a program to continue to operate within its environment |
| 4. | Module | d) | A verification method in which one member of a team reads the program or design line by line an the other members point out errors. |
| 5. | Testing | e) | A verification method in which a team performs a manual simulation of the program or design |
| 6. | Debugging | f) | A logical sequence of discrete steps that describes a complete solution to a given problem, computable in a finite amount of time |
| 7. | Acceptance test | g) | A program that translates a high-level language (such as C++, Pascal, or FORTRAN) into machine code |
| 8. | Regression testing | h) | A document showing the test cases planned for a program or module, their purposes, inputs, expected outputs, and criteria for success. |
| 9. | Compiler | i) | A statement of what is to be provided by a computer system or software product |
| 10. | Robustness | j) | The process of executing a program with data sets designed to discover errors |
| 11. | Deskchecking | k) | A cohesive system subunit that performs a share of the work |
| 12. | Walk-through | l) | A model of a complex system that includes only the details essential to the perspective of the viewer of the system |
| 13. | Inspection | m) | Reexecution of program tests after modifications have been made to ensure that the program still works correctly |
| 14. | Exception | n) | The process of removing known errors |
| 15. | Test Plan | o) | The process of testing the system in its real environment with real data |
