CT618: Object Oriented Design
15 months long | Credits: 5
This module will build on the knowledge acquired by students in their software engineering module, and provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of Object Oriented Design and the Unified Modelling Language (UML). Students will be introduced to the various object oriented analysis and design techniques which have developed over time, and will learn the industry-standard notation, UML (Unified Modelling Language). This industry standard notation is covered from its original inception, through its various constituent models, and on to its practical use in systems development (Note: this module is based on UML2, the latest version of the UML notation, approved in 2004). The application of UML is explored from analysis through design and on to final system implementation, highlighting the strengths of object orientation as an approach to systems development where the one notation is used throughout. Students will develop object oriented analysis and design models using Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools, similar to those developed in the software engineering module. The challenges of progressing seamlessly from system inception, through analysis, solution design and technical implementation will be addressed, while maintaining a focus on the delivery of a quality system within timescale and budget.
(Language of instruction: English)
Learning Outcomes
- Discuss and explain general concepts related to Object Orientation and particularly Object Oriented Analysis and Design
- Gather a clear set of requirements from clients for a software system
- Analyse a business’ requirements, and develop an object oriented domain model from those requirements, clearly identifying the domain classes
- Progress from the domain model to an object oriented application model for those requirements, clearly identifying the application artefacts required
- Evaluate the potential for reuse in the design of a system solution: from patterns to commercially available components
- Produce an object oriented design model for the proposed system solution
- Prepare relevant UML implementation models for this system solution
- Evaluate issues related to the implementation of the proposed system wrt resource usage, security, maintenance and performance
- Compare the Unified Process with agile process approaches
