Entry knowledge

  • Basic knowledge of software engineering. 
  • Knowledge of the paradigms of and practical experience with object-oriented programming.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

  • Mid-term written exam; there is no resit; excused absences are solved by the guarantor deputy.
  • The implementation and submission of the project results in the prescribed terms; excused absences are solved by the assistant.
  • For activities during the semester (except for the final exam), a student must earn at least 24 points for receiving the credit and thus for entering the exam.
  • Final exam with; the minimal number of points which can be obtained from the final exam is 20 (otherwise, no points will be assigned to the student); excused absences are solved by the guarantor deputy.

Aims

  • The goal of the subject is to give students knowledge of object oriented and agile methods and tools used in information system development and to learn them to apply these methods and tools.
  • Students will know selected object oriented and agile methods and techniques in information system development at an advanced level.
  • They will be able to develop suitable models during information system requirements analysis and design, mainly in the UML language.
  • Students will learn how to analyze a design solution of a given problem in a small team. They learn to present and defend both partial and final results of the project.
