Description This module introduces students to the main ideas in object-oriented analysis and design, and gives them practical, team-based experience in applying these ideas, using UML and an appropriate toolset. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Apply the O-O approach to analyse and design small-scale systems, starting from an initial statement of requirements 2. Demonstrate a detailed practical knowledge of the main elements of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) 3. Understand the main software verification activities, particularly of testing for O-O systems 4. Develop and implement system tests based on use cases 5. Understand, in practical terms, key processes and constraints arising in software development by a team, from initiation to system test and demonstration 6. Participate effectively as a (junior) team member within a software develpment team | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
