This subject teaches students how to design, develop and evaluate a software system meeting predefined quality characteristics of functionality (suitability, accuracy, security), usability (understandability, learnability, operability), and maintainability (analysability, changeability, stability, testability).
A case study approach is used to explore the design and development of a complex set of information systems services. The application domain is a commercial setting with a special focus on integration of new and legacy systems. The project is done in highly autonomous teams that, while supervised and directed, are ultimately responsible for the project and delivery of the expected outcomes.
