11.4 Summary

• The coding process of the software life-cycle is concerned with the development of code
that will implement the design.
• An incremental approach postpones detail in some or all phases to produce working
software earlier in the project development timescale.
• An increment produces (or alters) a cross-section of the final system deliverables, related
to a functional portion of the final system.
• Test Driven is a new approach to software development where the programmer must first
write a test that fails before writing any functional code.
• Pair programming refers to the practice whereby two programmers work together at one
computer, collaborating on the same design, algorithm, code, or test.

11.5 Keywords

FORTRAN: It is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited
to numeric computation and scientific computing.

Waterfall Model: It is a sequential design process, often used in software development processes,
in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases
of Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Production/Implementation
and Maintenance.
