Course Contents Structured and OO implementation of design using design
document(s) developed in CS-222:SAD
Modules specification from external specifications: internal
specification / logic specification using OO concepts of accessors,
mutators, constructors, polymorphism, inheritance, abstract
methods; Architectural styles for structured software systems: data-
centered / data flow / call and return / layered / client-server;
Factoring of a system: Modularity, partitioning: horizontal / vertical;
Cohesion and coupling; Cohesion classification: functional /
sequential / communication / procedural / temporal / logical / co-
incidental; Representing design: Structured charts / process design
language / interface description language /; Representing design for
OO systems: class diagram, sequence diagram, package diagram;
Design patterns: creational / structural / behavioral; Coding
guidelines; Unit test design: walkthroughs, inspections, code
reviews; Metrics: Cyclomatic complexity / data binding / cohesion
metric
