Learning Outcomes

TopThis module introduces the necessary conceptual and analytical tools for systematic and rigorous development of software systems. It covers four main areas of software development, namely object-oriented analysis, object-oriented design, implementation, and testing, with emphasis on the design and implementation of software modules that work cooperatively to fulfill the requirements of a system. Tools and techniques for software development, such as Universal Modelling Language (UML), program specification, and testing methods, will be taught. Major software engineering issues such as modularisation criteria, program correctness, and software quality will also be covered.
