Educational Goals

The course aims at providing students with methods and techniques to design, code, and test object-oriented software.

Content

In short:

Software: process and product.
Requirements analysis and specification.
Design by contract.
Object-oriented design, design patterns.
Verification and validation.
Maintenance, refactoring.

More comprehensively:

- Software: process and product
Software qualities. Software lifecycle: phases and activities. Software processes (waterfall, iterative). Spiral meta model.

- Requirements analysis and specification
Languages and methods for software specification
Formal specification languages: automata and Petri nets. Semiformal specification languages: UML (all diagrams).

- Design
Modules, interfaces, relations. Design principles, design by contract, defensive design.

- Object-oriented design
Encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic binding. Inheritance vs. delegation. Design patterns.

- Verification and validation
Testing and debugging. Structural and functional testing. Unit testing. Code inspections and walkthrough. Testing of object-oriented systems.

- Maintenance
Legacy systems. Refactoring of object-oriented systems.

Methods of Provision

Conventional

Teaching Methods

Lessons; examples; exercises. Presentation of both the requirements and some test cases of the project which is the subject of the oral test.

Assessment Methods

The exam consists in a written test and in an oral test.
1) The written test takes 90'. It can be tried several times: the outcome of a new test overrides that of the previous one.
2) The oral test consists in the presentation of a project, whose requirements were assigned by the teacher. Such a project has to be carried out by a group consisting of three students at most. A project presentation and a software demonstration have to be given by all the members of the group on the same date, whether they have already passed the written test or not. The project report, the software code and every document requested by the teacher have to be delivered in the teacher’s box for ordinary mail (at the entrance of the Department of Information Engineering) some days before the oral test takes place, within the deadline specified in the notes in the exam website. Any delivery that violates these constraints is unacceptable.
