ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Create Java source file

1.1 Create a file with a text editor

1.2 Create a sub-class of the class Java.applet.

1.3 Ensure that applet sub-class implements at least one of the following methods: init and paint

1.4 Define classes that contain instance variables, methods and local variables

1.5 Ensure that the init method initialises instance variables, and constructs any graphical interface used in the applet sub-class

1.6 Implement the paint and update methods to manage output that is drawn in the applet window

1.7 Incorporate event handling methods

1.8 Implement the code that allows a user to enter values, and assigns these values to variables

1.9 Use available graphical user interface (GUI) components to allow user interaction with the applet

1.10 Specify and load images and sounds

1.11 Include comments to describe the behaviour of the applet

2. Compile a source file

2.1 Use a Java compiler to compile the file

2.2 Correct errors detected by the compiler

2.3 Confirm basic correctness of the file, to ensure that all variables have been initialised

2.4 Ensure the compiler creates a class file, and that the class is interpreted correctly

3. Run applet

3.1 Create and name a hypertext markup language (HTML) file, and add APPLET tag

3.2 Write the applet class file to match the HTML document that contains an APPLET tag

3.3 Confirm that the applet loads and executes correctly

3.4 Identify and correct run-time errors

3.5 Identify and correct logic errors

3.6 Ensure that the appearance of the applet window renders it accessible and intuitive for the user, and that its design complies with organisational standards

3.7 Ensure that user interaction is implemented efficiently and effectively
