2.Objectives of Subject

-          For courses 

The general objective is the study of problem solving engineering methods through software. Topics included: the study of efficient methods to solve complex problems using analysis, requirements definition and specification, software design and implementation, thus producing robust, easy to maintain and reusable software products; software products life cycle; functional and object approaches in the application development process; the quality and the productivity of the software development process; complexity metrics of elaborated products and conceptual effort; organizational elements, psychology and sociology of software planning work.

  -          For applications 

The laboratory’s objective is to develop skills for UML diagrams creation and use, in development of personalized computer applications. Students will build UML class and activity diagrams, will describe the main entities used in applications and/or relation types and will test some application scenarios.

3.Specific Competencies

Training for complex software applications development.

Knowledge of organized program life cycle steps of scientific methods dedicated to complex application development, implementation and maintenance.

Planning for complex software quality, reliability, maintenance and reuse.

Teamwork abilities in complex program development process.
