Contents
The goal of this module is to impart knowledge on how software design and various programming techniques can increase the effectiveness of software engineers throughout the software lifecycle. In addition to classical design techniques such as design and architectural patterns, design heuristics and framework design, this module presents a wide range of programming techniques and tools. These include concepts of aspect oriented programming, standards for software components, debuggers and test tools. Students are trained in different design and programming techniques from science and industrial practice, both by reading corresponding articles in the research literature and by experimenting with corresponding tools.
Qualification Goals
- Describe prevalent types of design and programming techniques and how to use them,
- Understanding of the applicability and the expressiveness of these techniques,
- Understanding the theoretical principles underlying the techniques taught,
- Comparison and application of tools for programming and software analysis of real programs,
- Practice of scientific working methods (recognition, formulation, solving problems, training of the ability to abstract),
- Training of oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and in discussion.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Object-oriented Programming, Software Engineering.
