Aims

To investigate the underpinnings of object orientated systems. To develop object oriented systems using the unified modelling language and object oriented program code. To apply principles and patterns to improve the flexibility and maintainability of object oriented systems, with test driven development and source control playing a supporting role. To investigate the various architectures that object oriented systems may embrace.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Specify object oriented designs using the unified modelling language.
2.
Develop object oriented designs using object oriented program code.
3.
Apply principles and patterns to improve the flexibility and maintainability of object oriented designs & program code.
4.
Employ test driven development and source control in software engineering.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:OOAD & OOP -Compositions, Aggregations & Associations -Inheritance & Polymorphism -Collections & Generics -Interfaces -Multi-Threading Principles & Patterns -e.g. Inversion of Control, Dependency Inversion, Factory, Strategy -Applying SOLID Object Relational Mapping -Architectures -e.g. event / data driven vs. responsibility driven Test Driven Dev. -Source Control
Module Overview:
In this module you will explore the object oriented paradigm from analysis and design through implementation and testing to maintenance. The UML (Unified Modelling Language) is employed alongside OOP (Object Oriented Programming) to demonstrate key concepts, resulting in mature, fully functioning object oriented systems. You will apply principles and patterns to object oriented systems with test driven development and source control playing a supporting role. The module concludes by exploring the various architectures that object oriented systems may embrace.
Additional Information:The module begins by exploring the object oriented paradigm from analysis and design through implementation and testing to maintenance. The UML (Unified Modelling Language) is employed alongside OOP (Object Oriented Programming) to demonstrate key concepts, resulting in mature, fully functioning object oriented systems. The module continues by applying principles and patterns to object oriented systems with test driven development and source control playing a supporting role. The module concludes by exploring the various architectures that object oriented systems may embrace. This module thusly represents the logical follow-on to NQF4’s Introducing Programming module.
