  • Content: 
    Introduction of object oriented modeling as a base for analysis and design for maintainable software systems. This includes the elaboration of traceability and differences between analysis and design models. Software components are introduced as course-grained structure for reuse and as a base for architectural design. In software architecture besides modeling condepts for reuse (styles, patterns reference architectures) are included with an emphasis on clean architecture principles for design well maintainable software. This will be extended with clean code principles to support reuse on an elementary level.
