Description

Version: 4.0 start 01 August 2021
 

Short description

 This module provides you with the necessary analysis and design skills to develop and realize larger and more complex software applications.

User and domain research, use cases and domain modeling are applied to analyze a problem. The elicited requirements for a software system are systematically specified and tested.   

Derived from the requirements, techniques for the design of a suitable software architecture and the implementation in an object-oriented design are taught. Proven architecture and design patterns are applied and emphasis is placed on high software quality (extensibility, maintainability). 

Standardized notations (such as UML) are used for modeling and communicating the results from analysis, software architecture and design.

Module contents

 This module provides the necessary analysis and design skills to develop and implement larger and more complex software application.

Analysis competence includes above all the will and ability to communicate and cooperate with clients and future system users and to quickly familiarize oneself with new application contexts. Students must be able to recognize familiar problems in the application context and be familiar with the associated solution patterns. They recognize inconsistencies and can deal with unclear requirements. Complex domains can be modelled and large application problems can be broken down into subproblems using suitable interfaces.

Design competencies include the ability to design hardware and software systems that fully meet the requirements. Abstraction is as essential as a solid knowledge of software architecture. Central to the design is the implementation of non-functional requirements such as security, performance, scalability, maintainability, extensibility and reliability.

Introduction and Software Development Processes (4 lessons)
  • Overview of software development process models and their home grounds (waterfall, iterative-incremental and agile)
  • Process and artifacts in an iterative-incremental, use-case-driven and architecture-centric software development process
Requirements Analysis (16 lessons)
  • Introduction in Usability and UX
    (contextual inquiry, personas and scenarios, UI sketching & prototyping)
  • Elicitation and communication of functional requirements with use cases (UML use case diagram, use case specification)
  • Elicitation and communication of non-functional requirements (quality requirements, constraints)
  • Modelling of the user's technicality and terms (domain model) and introduction to Domain Driven Design (DDD, conceptual UML class diagram)
Software Architecture and Design (36 lessons)
  • Design and modeling of a software architecture (4+1 view, represented by UML package diagram, UML deployment diagram)
  • Introduction to Clean Architecture (SOLID principles, layer architecture, onion architecture)
  • Use case realization and class design (Responsibility Driven Design (RDD), UML class diagram, UML sequence diagram, UML communication diagram, UML state diagram, UML activity diagram)
  • Design with Design Patterns (GoF: Factory, Singleton, Adaptor, Bridge, Composite, Decorator, Facade, Proxy, Chain of Responsibility, Observer, State, Strategy, Visitor)
  • Various in-depth topics such as: Distributed systems, GUI architectures, persistence, framework design
Practical Training
  • As a practical training, the students solve exercises tailored to the topic of the lecture. The practical training is an integral part of the lecture in this module type (2 lessons lecture and 2 lessons exercises).
