Course Code CPE204

Course Title Software Design

Course Software design is both the process of defining the architecture, components, interfaces and
Description other characteristics of a system, and the result of that process. Essentially, software design is
the software life cycle activity in which parameters outlined and defined in the Requirements
process are translated into a description of a software system’s internal structure that can be
used as a basis for construction. This course begins with design fundamentals, including
concepts, context and processes. It then progresses through key design issues; structure and
architecture; user interface design; design quality analysis and evaluation; notations;
strategies and design tools, all within the context of real-world challenges.

Learning At the end of the semester the students are expected to:
Objectives: 1. Outline the software design process, and demonstrate how the essential design
principles are applied within it.
2. Apply the concepts of concurrency, data persistence, error handling and security to a
typical software design project.
3. Illustrate the essential elements of software structure and architecture in terms of
styles, patterns and families of programs and frameworks.
4. Explain the application of user interface design to a software development project,
including essential principles, interaction modalities, information presentation and
the UI design process.
5. Demonstrate the application of quality analysis and evaluation principles, including
quality attributes, analysis and evaluation techniques, and quality measures.
6. Explain through example the concept of design notations in terms of structure and
behavioral descriptions.
 7. Employ function, object, data-structure and component-based design methodologies
in a typical software design project.
