Please respond to the following:

“Data Structures” Please respond to the following:

Imagine you are asked to write a program to print out a yearly calendar. In this program, the user enters the year desired, and the output is a calendar for that year. Determine how the representation of internal data will affect the way in which the program is written.

Produce two examples of data structures that might be used in the scenario above.  (Hint: Are your data structures cumulative or not? How is a leap year handled?)

Please respond to the following:

“Generating Test Cases” Please respond to the following:

From the e-Activity, identify at least two methods used to generate test cases in software development, and explain how they are used to identify and perform the path testing.

Take a position on whether or not the structure of a program can reduce the number of test cases. Provide a specific example to support your answer.
