The object-oriented paradigm in software engineering context.
Object-oriented concepts.
Object-oriented design methods.
Design by contract for software reliability and extendibility.
Software design for a medium-size software product.
Software design and evaluation for reuse and the use of design patterns.
Object-oriented testing: incremental system development with process and product
metrics.
Using CASE tools for rapid object-oriented design and implementation.
Course Intended Outcomes:
By the end of the course students should be able to:
-
Think of problems and their solutions in an object-oriented fashion.
Clearly define and explain the main object-oriented concepts presented in this course.
Understand the importance of object-oriented modeling in software engineering and to be able
to model problems correctly using diagrams.
Understand the transformations between object-oriented models and object-oriented code and
database tables.
Translate requirements into object-oriented models and then be able to translate those models
into correct code and/or database tables.
