Software Reengineering, HS 11

Overview

Software re-engineering is concerned with restructuring a software system to fix real or perceived problems in preparation for further development and extension of the system. This course is on theories and best practices of re-engineering and the application of them in the re-engineering lab.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course students will be able to:

List state-of-the-art techniques and tools in software re-engineering;
Explain and apply best practices to analyze and understand existing software systems;
Use heuristics and tools to detect shortcomings in the design and implementation of software systems;
Apply tests and re-factoring techniques to systematically remove these shortcomings

3. Block: Presentation & Examination (tentative)

Date	Start	End	Room	Titel/Slides	Lecturer
16.12.2011			BIN 2.D.03	Lab Presentations & Oral Examination	You (schedule will be announced)

Presentations must be electronically and should not last longer than 20 minutes. The contents of the presentation should clearly show which shortcoming(s) you have addressed (and why was it a shortcoming), how you fixed it, and a proof that your fix improves the design of jmonkeyengine. For the presentation you can use your own laptop (or mine if you do not have a laptop available).

After the presentation there will be a 20-25 minutes oral examination. The examination comprises the "Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns" book and material (slides, articles) presented in the lectures, and the two lab assignments.
