BRIEF COURSE OVERVIEW
BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION
Examines the development of information systems and/or their software components. The need for development methodologies that support the emerging need for flexible, interactive and evolutionary construction is emphasised.
Object-oriented frameworks are introduced and their application is demonstrated through the use of realistic business related case studies and examples. Modelling techniques, introduced in the INFT1001, are extended to include comprehensive techniques for modelling of all aspects of information systems.
Issues and professional responsibilities that need to be considered at different phases in the development of an information system for an organisation are covered, including the impact of the system on its intended users and maintenance of quality.
Credit cannot be gained for INFT2009 and SENG2130.
