Aim of the course

- obtaining basic knowledge about software modelling

- familiarizing students with practical applications of software modelling for simple software systems

- familiarizing students with proper way of practical implementation of solution to simple problems using software design patterns

Prerequisites

Object-oriented programming, Software Engineering

Scope

Introductory issues. Background and history of modern modelling techniques. Unified process of application life cycle. System analysis and design. Object paradigm. Object modelling and its role in design of information systems. Class-Responsibility-Collaboration (CRC) diagrams. Software production processes.

Introduction to Unified Modelling Language (UML) notation and diagrams. Genesis and purpose of UML. Structural modelling. Basic notions and elements of object architecture: classes, objects, abstractions, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, communication, relations and associations between objects. Static structural diagrams: class and object diagrams. Association modelling: aggregation, composition, generalization, specialization, dependencies and realization. Packages and subsystems. Types and interfaces. Implementation diagrams: component and deployment diagrams. Requirements and their specification. Use case diagrams. Use case analysis: inclusion, extension, grouping and generalization. Work with use cases. Behavioural modelling. Sequence and collaboration diagrams. Roles and messages. Interactions and collaborations. Analysis of system states. State and activity diagrams. Flow transfer. Decisions. Concurrency. Signals and communication. Practical application of UML design tools.

Design patterns. Formulation of programming problems. Overview of most popular construction, structural and behavioural design patterns. Practical application of programming patterns. Software testability. General overview of design, deployment and software testing.

Teaching methods

lecture: brainstorm, discussion, practical tasks, conventional lecture

laboratory: brainstorm, working with source files, discussion, working in groups, practical tasks, conventional lecture

project: brainstorm, working with source files, discussion, working in groups, practical tasks, conventional lecture

Assignment conditions

Lecture - a credit is given for obtaining a passing grade for all exams administered at least once per semester

Laboratory - to receive a final passing grade student has to receive passing grades for all tasks required by the curriculum.

Project - to receive a final passing grade student has to receive passing grades for all tasks and projects required by the curriculum..

Calculation of the final grade = lecture: 33% + laboratory: 33% + project: 33%
