Course objectives
Understand object-oriented fundamentals that are used across all the levels of OO decomposition;
Ability to select and apply suitable formal models (UML, OCL) in various levels of decomposition;
Ability to select and apply suitable patterns during a system decomposition;
Understand the term "software quality" in the context of code, object-oriented models, and software architectures; Application of tuning tactics for quality improvement;
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, a student should be able to:
- explain fundamentals of object-oriented design and development;
- express semantic constraints on object-oriented models by means of Object Constraint Language;
- identify "bad smells" in code and apply suitable refactoring tactics;
- explain properties of analysis, design, and architectural patterns;
- apply analysis, design, and architectural patterns to system decomposition;
- describe properties and processes related to the development of component systems;
- explain qualitative aspects of software and describe their tuning tactics;
Syllabus
  • Object-oriented paradigm, object properties, principles of abstraction and decomposition. Principles of OO analysis and design.
  • Models of classes, packages, and components. Interface as a contract. IDL, SWDL.
  • Refinement of UML semantics by means of stereotypes and OCL.
  • Software reuse, software patterns at various stages of the software life cycle (analysis, design, architecture, coding).
  • Design patterns in detail.
  • Analysis patterns, Java patterns, anti-patterns.
  • Code refactoring („refactoring to patterns“).
  • Software architectures, architectural patterns.
  • Component systems. Qualitative attributes and their evaluation.
  • Object-oriented methods for software development, application of UML models in RUP.
  • Special methods and architectures: MDD, FDD, SOA, ...
  • Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), employing OCL in MDA.
