The aim of the class is to further the participants’ skills and experience in the design and development of large-scale software systems.

After completing this class participants will be able to:

Understanding software processes and commonly used software process models.
Understanding requirements engineering and identifying functional and non-functional requirements.
Identifying the appropriate stakeholders and creating user stories.
Learning how to model the requirements of a system using UML (e.g. use cases and class diagrams).
Working as part of a team to analyse the requirements of a software system.

Software process and software process models: Predictive (e.g., waterfall) vs adaptive (e.g., iterative waterfall, spiral and agile methods).
Requirements Engineering: Elicitation, analysis, documentation and validation.
Object-Oriented Goals and Principles: Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, Coupling, Cohesion, Refactoring and Clean Code.
Object-Oriented Design: UML modelling (e.g., class and use case diagrams) and other Object-Oriented representation techniques (e.g., CRC Cards)
