ISYS2048 - Applications Development 2
ISYS1040 - Systems Analysis and Design 2
Course Description
This course provides knowledge and understanding of contemporary software engineering theory and methodologies to facilitate system development using object -oriented technology, as well as outlining the social context in which this technology can be applied. This involves coverage of systems planning, analysis, design and implementation strategies for complex applications within larger organizations.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
An integrative focus on the application of business and IS knowledge in context develops students’ capacity to manage the customisation and implementation of IS systems in global enterprises. This course places an emphasis on creative analysis, design, planning and project management of IT problems and opportunities aligned with professional practice to ensure feasible, documented ‘best-practice’ solutions. A holistic approach to problem solving ensures that social, ethical, global and business perspectives are considered in the life-cycle of a software development project.
The rapidly changing and complex business IS environment demands a high degree of adaptability from IT/IS professionals. Socially responsible behaviour requires understanding of a broad range of discipline perspectives and personal development that embeds reflective practice in work patterns. This course will engage in debate about the human, economic and environmental consequences in decision making for a global business environment.
At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to:
* Understand the elements of software engineering theory and practice involved in the implementation of commercial systems.
* Comprehend the fundamentals of object-oriented analysis and design in the software construction process.
* Analyse a business or allied problem and design and document a solution using object-oriented modelling tools.
* Critically interpret current issues in software development methodologies and assess their impact on projects from a human perspective, as well as a technical standpoint
