COMP1004 Programming Principles
Justin Bradley . 08 Jan 2012 23:28

These are the resources used for the Computer Science course Programming Principles, designed to teach students the fundamentals of computer programming and object orientation via learning the Java language. We also touch on some software engineering basics, such as patterns, software design and testing. The course assumes no previous knowledge of programming, but there is a fairly steep learning curve, and students are encouraged to practice, practice, practice!

Introduction to Soft Systems Modelling
Justin Bradley . 07 Oct 2015 23:59

Two lectures that introduce the idea of modelling in the large, and contrasts hard system and soft system modelling. The second lecture goes into detail on a number of specific methods for analysing a system (CATWOE and CSH) and on modelling a system (Systems Diagrams and Personas).

Programming Principles: Computational Thinking
Justin Bradley . 11 Oct 2011 11:54

In this session we look at how to think systematically about a problem and create a solution. We look at the definition and characteristics of an algorithm, and see how through modularisation and decomposition we can then choose a set of methods to create. We also compare this somewhat procedural approach, with the way that design works in Object Oriented Systems,

Programming Principles: Conclusions
Justin Bradley . 03 Jan 2012 13:39

This is the revision session for our Programming Principles course. We take a whistle-stop tour of the topics covered in the course, look at the three pillars of object oriented programming, and look ahead to the exam.

Programming Principles: Polymorphism
Justin Bradley . 15 Nov 2011 10:15

In this session we build on inheritance and look at overriding methods and dynamic binding. Together these give us Polymorphism - the third pillar of Object Oriented Programming - and a very powerful feature that allows us to build methods that deal with superclasses, but whose calls get redirected when we pass in sub-classes.

Requirements Capture: Using UML Use Cases
Justin Bradley . 03 Dec 2010 11:13

This is a presentation for our year one INFO1008 course of Computational Systems. It covers the need for requirements capture and the difficulty of building a specification based on user information. We present UML Use Cases and Use Case diagrams as a way of capturing requirements from the users point of view in a semi-structured way.

Software Development Life Cycles and Process Models
Justin Bradley . 04 Dec 2015 10:04

This presentation describes the evolution of Software Development Lifecycles (SDLCs) from the first formally proposed linear models including, the Waterfall (Royce 1970) through to iterative prototyping models (Spiral and Win-Win Spiral) and incremental, iterative models used in Agile Methods. We discuss the problems iinherent in each prpoosal and how successive models attempt to solve them.

System Design: UML Activity and Sequence Diagrams
Justin Bradley . 26 Oct 2012 10:52

In this session we look at how to model flow of control and interactions between components using UML Activity and Sequence Diagrams. This is an introductory session and so for Activity Diagrams we only cover branching, forks and joins and swim lanes, and for Sequence we cover lifelines, messages and returns, and alt, par and opt frames.

System Design: UML Class Diagrams
Justin Bradley . 05 Nov 2012 00:32

In this session we look at UML Class Diagrams and how they fit into both the family of UML models, and also the software engineering process. We look at some basic features of class diagrams including properties, operations, associations, generalisation, aggregation and composition.

System Design: Using UML Use Cases
Justin Bradley . 22 Oct 2012 07:08

In this lecture we cover how UML Use Cases can be used for requirements capture. We look at the anatomy of a Use Case Description, and the way in which use cases can be brought together in a use case diagram. We also look at the way that use cases can be derived from problems using noun verb analysis.

TIDT's Development Process
Justin Bradley . 04 Apr 2016 14:00

This presentation gives an overview of TIDT's development process at time of writitng in March 2016. We were and still are developing our process. It is an agile process based on DSDM and Scrum.

The Web 2.0 Development Survival Guide
Justin Bradley . 13 Apr 2011 11:35

Building software for Web 2.0 and the Social Media world is non-trivial. It requires understanding how to create infrastructure that will survive at Web scale, meaning that it may have to deal with tens of millions of individual items of data, and cope with hits from hundreds of thousands of users every minute. It also requires you to build tools that will be part of a much larger ecosystem of software and application families. In this lecture we will look at how traditional relational database systems have tried to cope with the scale of Web 2.0, and explore the NoSQL movement that seeks to simplify data-storage and create ultra-swift data systems at the expense of immediate consistency. We will also look at the range of APIs, libraries and interoperability standards that are trying to make sense of the Social Media world, and ask what trends we might be seeing emerge.

Justin Bradley . 18 Jan 2017 09:56

Design and implementation Is the stage in the software engineering process at which an executable software system is developed. activities are invariably inter-leaved. Design is a creative activity in which you identify software components and their relationships, based on a customer’s requirements. Implementation is the process of realizing the design as a program.

Week 8 - Software Testing
Justin Bradley . 18 Jan 2017 18:50

Testing can only show the presence of errors in a program. It cannot demonstrate that there are no remaining faults. Development testing is the responsibility of the software development team. A separate team should be responsible for testing a system before it is released to customers. Development testing includes unit testing, in which you test individual objects and methods component testing in which you test related groups of objects and system testing, in which you test partial or complete systems. When testing software, you should try to ‘break’ the software by using experience and guidelines to choose types of test case that have been effective in discovering defects in other systems. Wherever possible, you should write automated tests. The tests are embedded in a program that can be run every time a change is made to a system.
