Aims and Summary
The module aims to take students through the analysis, design and implementation processes using objectoriented approach. It enables students to incrementally produce a system model, which is in Unified Modeling
Language and is composited of different views of the system, by using a CASE tool and then to design and
construct a prototype using object-oriented development platforms for a given small scale business case.
Intended Module Learning Outcomes
On completing the module, students should be able to:
1. Analyse a given case study using object-oriented modelling techniques.
Analysis
2. Design and implement a prototype object-orientated application using an objectoriented programming language.
Application
3. Evaluate a prototype against user requirements.
Learning
4. Explain and apply a method of producing a system using an object-oriented approach.

Review of object orientated principles and the use of UML.
Structured method for development that is use-case driven, architecture centric, iterative and
incremental.
3-tier architecture, namely, user interface, business model and datastore sequence/collaboration
diagrams.
Principles of Class development such as allocation of operations to classes, documenting pre and post
conditions for class operations, coupling, cohesion and re-use, inheritance versus aggregation and
wrapping.
Correlation of different views of system with one other e.g. use case, class, state and sequence models.
Use of suitable CASE tool.
Object persistence e.g. streaming or database.
Use of collection classes for multiplicity implementation.
Development of GUI interfaces - use of storyboarding.
Implementation of a working prototype system using object orientated principles.

Teaching and Learning
The module will employ a variety of methods (lectures, tutorials and labs of indicative use of selected
development platforms) as appropriate. Module supplementary page on web, case studies, self-directed
exercises and individual assignment will be used to support transfer of knowledge and understanding.
Method of Assessment
Coursework:
Examination:
50%
50% (a two-hour exam)
The coursework is an individual assignment weighted at 50%, will assess Learning Outcomes 1 and 2. The
assignment will be to design and implement a computer solution to a given case study. An examination,
length 2 hours weighted at 50%, will assess Learning Outcomes 3 and 4.
