While othertechniques will be briefly examined, the course will focus on theobject-oriented approach to analysis and design.Students will gain an appreciation of the difference betweenwriting programs and building software. Problem formulation anddecomposition (analysis) and solution building (design) will becovered, but emphasis will also be given to the management of softwaredevelopment and maintenance. Students will work in small groups, eachgroup having the responsibility for developing a software module.These modules will ultimately be interlocked into a functioningsoftware product. Commercial software development tools will be usedin several stages of the development process.
