Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, students should be able to do the following:
- Create assumptions and expectations in relation to a given design remit.
- Create functional and non-functional requirements for a given design remit.
- Analyse functional requirements through use case modelling.
- Construct a traceability matrix within the context of use cases and functional requirements.
- Create structural and behavioural design models within the scope of object-oriented design or other workplace-relevant design model.
- Use design models within the context of round-trip scenario testing.
- Analyse critically software-based case studies with respect to the use of methods and processes
