Can design, build and optimize non trivial programs using C# Mastery of intermediate level programming concepts. Can reliably construct, compile and debug non-trivial C# programs.

Ability to follow a development process, from design to testing.

Complete a basic process to produce a working piece of software. Follow the basic process, completing all documentation to produce working, tested software. Select an appropriate process, complete all necessary documentation to produce working, tested software. Able to use another's documentation to complete testing of another's application.

Ability to use SQL statements to create and manipulate a database

Ability to create tables, insert and retrieve data within a database. Create relational tables and insert data into them and retrieve specific data using complex queries Mastery of the SQL syntax, producing optimized database implementations and efficient queries

Make use of classes found in the .NET framework.

Can create Lists, populate them, retrieve and utilize data from them. Uses a variety of library classes found in the .NET framework. Is able to investigate the .NET framework documentation to discover existing solutions to problems and avoid having to implement already existing classes.

Exception handling / Robust programming

Can handle run-time exceptions Can design solutions to potential exceptions that provide diagnostic output Can make programs that are extremely robust to potential exceptions and provide programmatic solutions.

Graphical User Interfaces

Can make a program that is in some way controlled by a graphical user interface. Can provide simple graphical input and output solutions utilizing buttons and text boxes. Can produce advanced user interface solutions that makes use of graphics and dynamic input.

Understanding of the types of software testing, how to construct appropriate defect reports and their uses to limit the number of defects in software.

Can construct a test-plan to be followed by a human tester. Utilises unit tests to provide automated testing of individual components in addition to human testing. Provides a full unit test suite, uses additional automated testing for integration tests as well as human black-box and open-box testing.

Ability to capture requirements and convert those into the appropriate application logic, using intermediary pseudo-code where necessary.

Can describe a set of user requirements accurately. Describes user requirements succinctly using the MoSCoW priority system and can convert these requirements into broad brush algorithms in pseudo code. Accurately describes requirements with priorities and converts them through pseudo code to the final C# code with appropriate detail where necessary.
