Course content

The aim of the course is to teach methods and techniques for analysis and design of information systems base on an object-oriented approach. The course will, furthermore, discuss a variety of perspectives of development of information systems in order explore the relationship between programming, data bases and software engineering. A project will be conducted with the aim to analyse and design an information system in a real-world organization. Concretely the course will teach:

• Definition of problems, requirements specification and the relationship between the specification and the real-world
• Systems specification, modelling and a superior functional design
• A variety of systems development strategies

Learning outcomes

After the course, students should:

• be able to use an object-oriented method for analysis and design
• be able to analyse information systems in real-world settings and to conduct methods such as interviews and observations
• have a general understanding of a variety of approaches and perspectives of systems development, and to evaluate other IS development methods and techniques
• know techniques aimed to achieve the objective and expected results of a systems development process
• know different types of prototyping
• know how to use UML for notation
