ECTS

Prerequisites

Completed the 1st semester Software Engineering course PRO1 (formerly SDJ1) or a similar course.

Main purpose

The purpose is to qualify the student to apply software engineering concepts used to develop Object Oriented software. Structure the software development process by applying Scrum and Unified Process to conduct Analysis, Design and Test-descriptions to exemplify a final solution from a real-life problem. This involves requirement capturing (Use Cases and non-functional requirements), analysis, domain models, interaction diagrams, design class diagrams, design patterns, test-descriptions, S.O.L.I.D design principles etc.

Knowledge

The student should be able to account for:

• Abstraction
• UML (selected diagrams)
• S.O.L.I.D principles
• Unified Process
• Scrum
• Design principles
• Architectural design
• Requirement capturing
• Analysis vs. Design models
• The difference between software development and coding
• Test descriptions
• How to conduct a test following a test description

Skills

The student should achieve the skills to:

• Analyse a problem and document the analysis- and design-process with text and UML
• Apply use of Scrum
• Apply use of Unified Process
• Use UML to document requirements, analysis, and design artefacts
• Use agile software development with Unified Process in combination with Scrum
• Create a Domain model from a problem description, requirement specification and understand the elements in the resulting Domain model
• Create a design model and understand the elements within it
• Apply the S.O.L.I.D principles on a design model
• Design for test
• Create test descriptions
• Create architectural design models

Competences

The student should be able to:

• Analyse a problem– what is the problem to be solve?
• Derive a requirement specification with Use Cases and non-functional requirements
• Plan tests by Test specifications
• Analyse and design a project to be implemented in teams with many participants and stakeholders
• Work in a Scrum team

Topics

Teaching methods and study activities
