What if ??????????????


 What is an if statement ?
The if statement executes a statement if a specified condition is true. If the condition is false, another statement can be executed.

Some examples of the if statements below are from the excel calories counter are below

1) What if a person eats junk all day?
If i eat eat junk all day the calculator counts all the calories (the intake from the whole day) and compares it from the calories that are supposed to be intaken. It then recommends you the calories that you should be having throughout the day to keep fit and healthy.

2) What if they eat healthy?
If i eat healthy all day the calculator counts all the calories (the intake from the whole day) and compares it from the calories that are supposed to be intaken. It then recommends you the calories that you should be having throughout the day to keep fit and healthy.

3) What is the calorie intake ?
your calorie intake is recommended on your BMI and gender.The term BMI stands for body mass index. In order to find someones BMI you have to know the formulas below :
BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) - 5 * age(y) + 5         (man)
BMR = 10 * weight(kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) - 5 * age(y) - 161     (woman)
Next you have to make an if statement and type in the formula below

Testing my own Scratch and asking Zahra to also evaluate it.

Testing my own Scratch and asking Zahra to also evaluate it.




Test 1:  The program must have clear instructions for the user

i do not have  clear instructions however i have an error with my costumes. whenever i click the costumes to answer it does not work.

Hadeya's quiz does not have any clear instructions at the beginning. It just goes to the first question straight away. I think she should use the SAY code to explain the rules of the game. Instructions are important because it tells the reader what to do otherwise the user will not know how to play the game.
TEST 2: THE PROGRAM MUST BE ERROR FREE.
I need to add the code that changes the questions and allows the user to choose one of the answers from the options.


Hadeya has only included the first question. You cannot chose the right answer because it has no code to tell it when to click. I think she can add more questions and go through the work step by step. 

TEST 3: THE PROGRAM MUST HAVE MEANINGFUL VARIABLES





Test 4: The program must be documented well in the blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.





Test 5: The quiz has to be generated in question number order.

I have not done that because I do not have more than 1 question and I have not made the code for the questions yet. so i cant really have an order .

TESTING OUR SCRATCHES

Here is the check list / testing plan

I will test my quiz to make sure it works while I create it. I will also test it after I have finished coding to make sure it works fully as planned. I shall do the testing myself but I shall also ask Zahra 
to test certain parts of it. I shall be a test buddy for Zahra.
Here are the tests:-
Test 1:  The program must have clear instructions for the user.
Test 2: The program must be error-free
Test 3: The program must have meaningful variables.
Test 4: The program must be documented well in the blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.
Test 5: The quiz has to be generated in question number order.
Test 6: The progr
TESTING STRATEGY & PLANam has to keep a score of all the correctly answered questions.
Test 7:The quiz should have a fail screen
Test 8:the costumes must be named appropriately
Test 9:The question should make sense 
Test 10:Is the background suitable for the quiz 

TESTING
Add screenshots to each of the test items above as evidence that you have tested them. For each test, explain the various states of the program (e.g. show what happens when the score increases).

EVALUATE
In your blog, evaluate how well your quiz works. What are its strengths? How could you improve it further if you had more time?
