This module introduces the UML way of specifying requirements, which can then be used to provide a traceable chain all the way through your software design and down to your code.

Things to Read

• Read: Sprint Use Cases and Use Case Diagrams
  • Remember to look at the “Learning Material” for book chapters, screencasts, and further reading.

Scheduled Events

• Visit: Lecture User Stories and UML Use Cases (<2018-04-03 Tue 10:00> J1504)
• Prepare before and Visit: Seminar Requirements, Use Cases, Project Planning (Group I <2018-04-04 Wed 13:00> J1207, Group II <2018-04-04 Wed 15:00> J1207, Group III (IndEk) <2018-04-05 Thu 10:00>)

Assignment Work

• Submit: Release Sprint 3 Week Roll Call; List of Use Cases (Deadline <2018-04-06 Fri>)
• Work on Assignment: Sprint Use Case Overview Assignment
• Work on Assignment: Sprint Implementation Plan Assignment
• Work on Assignment: Sprint Detailed Use Cases for First Iteration Assignment

This assignment “sets the stage” for your subsequent assignments by making sure you have understood the system requirements properly. In a seminar you then discuss your submitted User Stories and Use Cases.

Assignment Work

• Submit Assignment: Release Sprint: Use Cases (Feedback Deadline <2018-04-09 Mon>)
  • This assignment consists of three parts:
    • Use Case Overview
    • Implementation Plan
    • Detailed Use Cases for First Iteration

There are two sides to modelling. You model the structure of a system to understand which entities you are going to work with, and you model the behaviour of these entities. In this module we focus on the structure.

Things to Read

• Read: Sprint Concepts and Events
  • Remember to look at the “Learning Material” for book chapters, screencasts, and further reading.

Scheduled Events

• Visit: Lecture Modelling Structure (<2018-04-10 Tue 10:00> J1504)

Assignment Work

• Work on Assignment: Sprint Domain Model Assignment
• Work on Assignment: Sprint System Sequence Diagrams Assignment

Different ways of modelling behaviour is introduced. A particular emphasis is placed on patterns to help you identify what makes a good design.

Things to Read

• Read: Sprint State Diagrams
  • Remember to look at the “Learning Material” for book chapters, screencasts, and further reading.
• Read: Sprint Good Interactions
  • Remember to look at the “Learning Material” for book chapters, screencasts, and further reading.

Design patterns are essentially re-usable solutions to common problems, where you can be reasonably sure that the end result will actually be a good, understandable, and extensible design.

Things to Read

• Read: Sprint Design Patterns
  • Remember to look at the “Learning Material” for book chapters, screencasts, and further reading.

Scheduled Events

Assignment Work

• Work on Assignment: Sprint Design Patterns Assignment

In this assignment you demonstrate your ability to design a software system in terms of interaction diagrams and class and package diagrams.

Assignment Work

• Submit Assignment: Release Sprint: Object Oriented Design (Feedback Deadline <2018-04-25 Wed>)
  • This assignment consists of two parts:
    • Interaction Diagrams
    • Class and Package Diagram

Connect your well-designed system with a user interface and other external systems to make a functional application. Also, an understanding of the quirks in your selected programming language will help you understand how to actually implement your design.

Things to Read

• Read: Sprint Implementation and Designing the User Interface
  • Remember to look at the “Learning Material” for book chapters, screencasts, and further reading.

Scheduled Events

• Visit: Lecture From Design to Code (<2018-04-25 Wed 10:00> J1504)

In this assignment you finalise your design and submit it.
