• Informatics B/P (programme FPF, INFOR-bpk)

Course objectives

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with methodologies of design and implementation of software projects.

Learning outcomes

Students will be able to:
- identify and summarize important features of the main software development methodologies;
- compare and highlight differences in individual methodologies;
- demonstrate the use of individual software development methodologies on simple examples

Syllabus

• 1. Introduction: Specification of terms, methodology (methodology goal), method, classification of software for SW development. Primary reasons for modeling. SW lifecycles. Light and heavy methodologies.
• 2. Waterfall approach to SW creation: Model principle, life cycle, specification, plan, development phase, possibilities of use, disadvantages.
• 3. Iterative / evolutionary approach to SW creation: Model principle, iteration, feedback, life cycle phase. Comparison of waterfall and interaction approach.
• 4. UP methodology: UP (Unified Process) modeling process, Unified Modeling Language (UML) structure, most commonly used UML diagrams, other UML elements, UP and UML relationship.
• 5. RUP and EUP methodology: RUP (RationalUnifiedProcess) characteristics, method of distribution, notation, basic elements, a sequence of actions. EUP comparison and common applications with RUP.
• 6. Agile approach to SW creation: Advantages of agile methodologies (speed, web technologies, interactivity, incrementation). Agile Manifesto (SW).
• 7. ADS, DSDM, FDD, XP methods: ADS (Adaptive Software Development), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Feature-Driven Development (FDD), characteristics, advantages, development principles, comparison. Extreme Programming (XP), characteristics and advantages of XP.
• 8. SCRUM and Crystal methodology: SCRUM, process, role, artifacts. Crystal family of methodologies, possibility to customize methodologies according to the project.
