Course description and aims

[Purpose]
Students learn practical skills about software design and software quality improvement.

[Overview]
Students learn through practical training techniques and practical skills about software design, software construction and refinement by using object-oriented design, design patterns, etc. Make experiences in the usefulness of these techniques.

Student learning outcomes

By taking this course, students learn skills to analyze development targets from multiple perspectives, design and share the conceptual model of the target software as a hierarchical module structure, and explain and improve quality.
Acquire skills to perform a series of software development such as design, implementation, and testing.

Keywords

Functional independence ,Object oriented design, UML, Design pattern, Software testing, Quality, Software configuration management , Metrics, Refactoring, Java

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This class consists of lectures explaining the concepts and techniques and exercises to train to apply techniques to simple examples.
