Software Development Methodology

The course treats both programming in an object-oriented programming language and software development techniques used to achieve abstraction, modularisation, and reusability. The course also introduces software testing and program code documentation.

The course covers the following:
- Object-oriented programming
- Abstraction
- Modularisation
- Modelling
- Analysis
- Testing (unit and end user tests)
- Documentation
- Exceptions and error management
- Basic data structures (such as lists, queues, stacks, trees)
- Development models and software quality

Progressive specialisation: G1F (has less than 60 credits in first‐cycle course/s as entry requirements)

Education level: Undergraduate level

Admission requirements: Registered for Programming Techniques, 7.5 ECTS credits, or equivalent

Selection:

Selection is usually based on your grade point average from upper secondary school or the number of credit points from previous university studies, or both.
