Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Build applications using the provided language utilities	1.1 Review the program requirements 1.2 Divide multiple source-code files into logical units and packages 1.3 Use at least two of the utilities of the target language, allowing for the internal storage of collections of data 1.4 Use the utilities of the target language, providing internal data-sorting and searching facilities 1.5 Employ integrated-development environment facilities, to make files to automate program building 1.6 Follow the guidelines for developing maintainable code, adhering to coding standards 1.7 Use the facilities in the language for persisting objects to binary files 1.8 Use the operator and function or method overloading facilities available in the language, at an introductory level 1.9 Use exception-handling techniques to ensure program stability 1.10 Use of a class that is based on multiple inheritances
2. Write programs that interact with a database	2.1 Design and implement programs that connect to a database 2.2 Design and implement programs that use the language facilities to extract, update, and delete data stored in a database 2.3 Design and implement programs that use the language facilities to manipulate database structure (query, create and delete) 2.4 Write programs that deliver transactional integrity
3. Write the graphical user interface	3.1 Employ the graphical user interface (GUI) framework, or text windowing interface, appropriate to the chosen language 3.2 Use standard GUI components 3.3 Use the facilities within the language for GUI objects to respond to user and program-generated events
4. Debug the application	4.1 Use stand-alone debugging tools, or tools provided by the integrated development environment, to examine variables, and trace the running code 4.2 Use the debugger to detect logical and coding errors 4.3 Use the tracing of code and examination of variable contents during execution, to detect and correct errors
5. Test the application	5.1 Design and document limited tests of code 5.2 Undertake limited testing of the produced code to ensure that it complies with the program specification 5.3 Capture and document the test results
6. Create and maintain documentation	6.1 Read and interpret the supplied design document, to create the code 6.2 Create and maintain program documentation
