Learning Outcomes
The course’s material includes the basic principles underlying the development of software projects, the most widely used Software Life Cycle Models, as well as methodologies, techniques and tools for the systematic analysis, design, development, testing, operation and maintenance of good quality software systems within a specific timetable and budget, following the structured and object-oriented approach.
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be in position to:
- Explain the basic principles and techniques that constitute the model of object-oriented programming (indicatively: classes and objects, inheritance, polymorphism).
- Design and develop programs that implement specific algorithms in the object-oriented programming language Java.
- Test programs developed in Java in a specific integrated programming environment.
- Explain the basic concepts, methodologies and techniques used in each phase of the software life cycle.
- Evaluate and select the appropriate software life cycle model.
- Draw diagrams using the UML (Unified Modeling Language) modeling software for requirements analysis, design and development of software systems.
- Apply testing techniques for software systems testing (validation and verification).
