The Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

0/4

Devon is writing a program for an automated climate-control system in a commercial greenhouse. The rules of the program are:

  • The system continuously reads temperature sensor inputs.
  • If the temperature exceeds a maximum threshold Tmax=28∘CT_{\text{max}} = 28^{\circ}\text{C}Tmax​=28∘C or falls below a minimum threshold Tmin=16∘CT_{\text{min}} = 16^{\circ}\text{C}Tmin​=16∘C, an alert status is triggered.
  • It calculates an average hourly temperature and logs it to a file.
  • The loop terminates and performs a safe shutdown if the sensor sends an error code -999.

Complete the table below by identifying and describing two debugging or testing features of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that Devon can use when testing or debugging his program.
