Course Description
This course, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, will help you answer that hard question, how to analyze, design and develop an industrial strength software system. It is hard to present a recipe for design and analysis. We often learn it the hard way, from experience. In this course, we will take an example oriented approach to look at practice situations and discuss the various options and alternatives. In addition to the fundamentals of design and analysis, we will delve into highly related concepts of test driven development, design patterns, and design principles.

 

Prerequisites

• In-depth knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming in Java/C++/C#/Ruby is required
  

Course Objectives 
 

• Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
• Work with design constraints and tradeoffs
• Measure the quality of your design, both qualitatively and quantitatively
• Apply design patterns and principles
• Be equipped with tools and techniques for practicing pragmatic analysis and design of software systems.
