The program development cycle for the Commission program consists of tasks
that correspond to the six development cycle phases, as shown in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1 Commission Program Development Tasks
DEVELOPMENT PHASE TASK(S)

1 Analyze the requirements Analyze the Commission problem.

2 Design the solution Design the user interface for the console

application and the applet, including output
data and placement of the applet components
and graphic. Design the logic to solve the
problem.

3 Validate the design Confirm with the user that the design solves the

problem in a satisfactory manner.

4 Implement the design Translate the design into code. Include internal

documentation (comments and remarks) within
the code that explains the purpose of the code
statements. Create the HTML file to host the
applet.

5 Test the solution Test the program. Find and correct any errors

(debug) until it is error-free.

6 Document the solution Print copies of the application code, applet

code, applet interface, and HTML code.
