AIMS

Software Systems must be carefully analysed, designed and modelled before they are constructed. This subject delivers the knowledge and skills needed for the design of medium to large-scale software systems. The subject also teaches students how off-the-shelf development frameworks can be utilized for designing large-scale software systems. The emphasis will be on techniques appropriate for object-oriented design and development.

 

INDICATIVE CONTENT

Topics covered include:

  • Analysis of requirements for design
  • Modelling software systems using the Unified Modelling Language (UML)
  • Software design processes and principles
  • Common design patterns and software architectures
  • Tools for design and development.

 

 

Intended learning outcomes
