    Course Objectives The goal of this course is an in depth study of design patterns and code refactoring. Design Patterns enable software professionals to avoid designing solutions from scratch which have been worked before, while refactoring studies techniques to root out bugs and identify and correct poorly structured code without changing the external behavior of the system. Design patterns improve the design “before code is written”, refactoring improves the design “after code is written”. Both design patterns and refactoring techniques allow the development of complex maintainable and extensible software systems. The pros and cons of each technique will be discussed and the students shall get an opportunity to apply these techniques through hands-on assignments
    Learning Outcomes

    The students who succeeded in this course;

    • describe the form and content of design patterns,
    • determine what is not included in the patterns and how they fit into software design,
    • identify and choose the appropriate design pattern and apply it to software solutions,
    • use refactoring to improve design and make existing applications more maintainable and extendible,
    • choose the appropriate type of refactoring technique to solve specific problems.
    Course Description This course is an in depth study of design patterns and code refactoring techniques which is used to develop complex, maintainable and extendible sofware systems.
