ACARA 9-10 Digital Technologies: Debugging and testing Python programs
Students read error messages, debug with print statements, breakpoints and stepping, modify existing programs, and validate functions with test cases and assert.
One content description (AC9TDI10P06, AC9TDI10P09) from the full ACARA Digital Technologies Years 9–10 — Modular and Object-Oriented Programming (Python) journey. All 10 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
