Teaching description

The prerequisites for attending the corse are the knowledge of structured programming languages (Java) and the fundamentals of computer science.

After the course the student should be able to:

  • Apply main software engineering principles and control software qualities (both internal and external);
  • Design and implement software following industrial standards (UML) and structured software production processes;
  • Manage the software engineering i.e. execute tasks as planning, organizing, staffing, controlling, estimating (software cost and size);
  • Design the software adopting standard software architectures;
  • Select and adopt software design patterns (creational patterns, structural patterns, behavioral patterns);
  • Verify the software exploiting standard tools and adopting well-known metrics;
  • Develop complex model-view-controller web and mobile software systems, exploiting at the back end the Spring framework, and at the front end the AngularJS framework, connecting them through RSRT/JSON web services;
  • Use the main open source tools for the software testing and refactoring, and for the software configuration management.

The main goal of the course is to deepen students’ knowledge on modern design and development techniques for interactive software systems. In particular, methods and tools for automated software testing, agile processes organization and design patterns selection will be analyzed. All concepts will be experimented by students designing, developing and testing a software prototype of a service based web application with a mobile extension (app). The software prototype will be developed on top of modern frameworks (Spring and AngularJS).

Classroom lessons, classroom practice, project work in pair programming.

The exam consists of two tests: a written test, intended to verify the theory of software engineering concepts (10 points out of 30); a software prototype implementation, intended to verify the practice of design patterns, MVC architectures and tests, which will be discussed during an oral examination (20 points of 30). Both written test and software prototype implementation are mandatory. The software prototype should be developed in pairs. The software system must be designed using UML, adopting standard design patterns. The software system must be developed starting from MVC frameworks (Spring, AngularJS), using a structured programming language, and must be systematically tested collecting metrics. A mobile extension of the software system is required. The software prototype must be developed following an agile process and must be documented. A month before the end of the course, the general requirements of the software prototype will be published by the teacher, a new requirements set for each year. The requirements will be effective till a new set of specifications will appear. The mark of the written exam has the same temporal extension of the project's requirements.

Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Department of Innovation Engineering, teaching sector ING-INF/05, 9 CFU, 74 hours in classroom (both theory and practice), 54 hours of project work in pair, 1° year, 2° term.
