FALSE- beta

One or more rounds of outside tests for programs created for mass distribution are referred to as "alpha" tests. __________

TRUE

Procedural programming utilizes procedures, which are also called modules or "subprograms". __________.

flowcharts

Program ____ use graphic symbols and relational operators (such as < for "less than" and = for "equal to") to portray the sequence of steps needed to fulfill the logic in that program, module, or method.

maintenance

Program __________ is the process of updating software so it continues to be useful.

logic error

Programmers often use temporary dummy print statements—print statements that are temporarily inserted into the code—to help locate a ____.

beta tests

Programs created for mass distribution often have two stages of testing: an internal onsite test and one or more rounds of outside tests (called _________).

True

Pseudocode expresses the steps in a program, module, or method, but uses English-like statements in place of the flowchart's graphical symbols.

True

Python programs run on computers using the Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X, or OS/2 operating systems, as well as on some mobile devices.

interpreter

Rather than creating a complete object module for a program, a(n) ____ reads, translates, and executes the source program one line at a time.

False

Structure charts are used to illustrate the step-by-step logic that is to take place within a program, module, or method.

True

Structured programming embodies a top-down design philosophy.

selection

The basic __________ control structure is the if-then-else statement, in which the condition can only result in two possibilities—true or false (yes or no).

The major disadvantage associated with interpreters is that they work less efficiently than ____________ do, so interpreted programs run more slowly.

True

The property that makes 4GLs easier to use is that they are declarative, rather than the procedural third-generation languages.

Tool such as Microsoft's ____ are helping to bridge different platforms and programming languages.

object-oriented programming

Two of the most significant approaches to programming are procedural programming and ____.

do until structure

With the ____, the instructions in the loop are repeated as long as a certain condition is false.
