Undergraduate - UnitFIT3077 - Software engineering: architecture and design

At the completion of this unit students will have -

A knowledge and understanding of:

• modelling and design of flexible software at the architectural level. Basics of model-driven architecture;
• Architectural styles and patterns, Middleware & application frameworks;
• product lines. Design using COTs software;
• configurations and configuration management;
• in-depth look at software design, design patterns;
• design of distributed systems using middleware;
• design for qualities such as performance, safety, reusability etc;
• evaluation and evolution of designs, reverse engineering.

Developed attitudes that enable them to:

• apply variety of design pattern;
• appreciate analysis fundamentals;
• analyse well-formedness (completeness, consistency, robustness, etc);
• analyse correctness (eg. static analysis,simulation etc.);
• analyse quality requirements (eg. root cause analysis, safety, usability, security, etc.).

Developed the skills to:

• take requirements for simple systems and develop software architectures and designs at a high level;
• use configuration management tools effectively;
• apply a variety of frameworks and architectures in designing software.
