Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • analyze and model requirements in the object-oriented paradigm
     
  • design a software architecture using common design patterns
     
  • design, program and test an application in the object-oriented paradigm
     
  • understand and utilize concepts and facilities in both object-oriented analysis, design and programming and, on this basis, construct an application of high, internal and external quality

Skills

  • perform systematic testing of the application as a whole and demonstrate that the application matches the intentions and users' needs
     
  • carry out systematic testing of an object-oriented program with special emphasis on integration testing
     
  • carry out systematic user interface evaluation
     
  • argue for choices made in all activities of the development process, including explaining requirements, architecture and how users' needs are interconnected
     
  • gain skills in balancing multiple learning goals

Competences

  • develop a running application that solves user problem
     
  • apply object-oriented programming
     
  • describe and reflect on the working method used in the development project

Type of instruction

Project work including:

  • formulation and analysis a problem whose solution can be described in the form of analysis, design and realization of a specific application
  • The problem should be found outside the university and be analyzed based on the involvement of users, clients, or customers
  • elaborations of such a solution
  • reflection on this process of development

The project work is supported by digital resources on integration testing and writing competence in technical documentation and scientific dissemination.

Extent and expected workload

The student is expected to spend 27.5 hours per ECTS, which for this activity means 412.5 hours.
