ITC508 Object Modelling (8)

In this subject, students will develop knowledge and skills in the use of object-oriented analysis and design techniques, and in the development of various object oriented artefacts. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), object oriented analysis, modelling and design, and creation of diagrams are covered using Unified Modelling Language (UML) notation.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
  • be able to explain and apply the concepts of object orientation methodology;
  • be able to describe the relationship of analysis and design activities to the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC);
  • be able to analyse a case study and construct a business proposal to argue the feasibility of a client software proposal;

  • be able to create analysis and design diagrams with UML notation;
  • be able to compare the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of UML to determine the best diagrams for the problem domain;
  • be able to model various aspects of systems to construct quality diagrams for use in a system development project;
  • to be able to verify and validate a system design.
