Advanced Software Design

This repo contains the material for the course Advanced Software Design (5 cr.) imparted at Uppsala University.

CONTENT

Principles and methods for software design with a special focus on object-oriented analysis and design, including topics such as domain modelling, software architecture, class and object modelling, behavioural modelling, design patterns, General Responsibility Assignment Software Principles (GRASP) design principles, design evaluation and improvement, and refactoring. Practice by designing a larger program.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• summarise and explain relevant design principles.

• use object-oriented programming methodology to design and implement larger programs.

• use a modelling language as a means to communicate realistic problems and their solutions.

• demonstrate understanding of the connection between modelling languages and programming languages, for example by implementing design models.

• use design patterns and other known solutions to design problems.

• evaluate the suitability of different design alternatives based on object oriented design principles, and identify design flaws in programs.
