500 | 0 | |a When car manufacturers want to make a new car, they first have to have the concept then the design and then they are faced with the problem of building it. Ideally, what they would like is a machine where you feed in steel at one end, plastic, rubber, wire, and so on, and out pops a car at the other end. Unfortunately, that's not really possible so what they have is a production line where a set of components are brought in under the control of a set of instructions to produce a particular car. In a way, that's exactly how a computer works. Instead of components you have numbers, characters or words that are controlled by a set of instructions to solve a particular problem. Just as you may want to test a sequence of instructions in a computer program to find out if they are correct, so the instructions on the production line are checked. "If car leaks then fix it and take it back. If it doesn't leak then continue to the next instruction." The order of the instructions is very important. "Fit front wheel drive unit in a front wheel drive car" must come before "fit engine." If the components are all okay and the instructions are all correct, there is one way of checking out the whole program and that's to test the final product. | |
