Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce effective methods of design issues for high quality software systems. It also aims at teaching refactoring concepts.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Recognize and define common design patterns
  • Identify appropriate patterns for design problems
  • Apply refactoring to poorly designed software by using design patterns
  • Create code implementations of design patterns
  • Discuss implementation trade-offs of certain patterns with respect to others
Course Content Introduction to design patterns, creational patterns, structural patterns, behavioural patterns, analysis patterns, architectural patterns, testing, refactoring.
