Summary

The goal of the course is to let students develop the ability to “think with objects” when designing and building a complex software system. The course provides an academic basis for object-oriented design and programming.

At the end of this course, the student is expected to be able to:

• design object-oriented models for concrete scenarios;
• devise a class hierarchy based on the model;
• describe and document the planned class hierarchy using standard formats like UML;
• identify and apply common object-oriented design patterns.
• implement the planned class hierarchy in the concrete programming language used;
• plan and execute systematic testing of the class hierarchy and and object-oriented program (unit, component, integration).

Selected topics

• Object-oriented design, architectures, and principles.
• Abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
• The basics of UML class and sequence diagrams.
• Common design patterns such as factory, singleton, composite, decorator, observer, strategy, command, visitor.
