Syllabus

In this unit, the students will learn how to produce detailed object models and designs from system requirements; use the modelling concepts provided by UML; identify use cases and expand into full behavioural designs; expand the analysis into a design ready for implementation and construct designs that are reliable. The students will then map the designs into code and perform unit testing using automated testing tools. During the unit the students are supposed to design a moderately realistic object-oriented system. This unit will be co-taught with unit 6684 Object-Oriented Software Design PG.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, the student should be able to:

1. Analyse requirements of a given software project and produce requirement specifications (SRS);

2. Understand the principles of object-relational mapping to design object persistence;

3. Perform object-oriented analysis and design for a moderately realistic object oriented system;

4. Comprehend and apply design patterns to improve software design; and

5. Program and use automated testing tools to perform unit testing.
