8. Topics – exercises/assignments Refactoring Software architecture styles Design patterns

9. Exam Assignments – 60% Refactoring – 15% Software architecture styles – 15% Design patterns – 30% Oral exam – 40% Defend assignment solutions – 10% Oral exam on design patterns – 30% Students could win extra percentages for individual extra work

10. Refactoring – exercises • Short introduction • Definition • Bad smells • Refactoring that address common bad smells • Each student was asked (during the session) to • find one example of code with bad smell • demonstrate refactoring on given example

11. Refactoring – assignment 5 examples Students should find bad smells propose refactored solution 15 %

12. Architectural style - exercises • Architectural styles by examples • Seven common architectural styles proposed by (Shaw and Garlan, 1994) • Pipes and filters • Objects • Implicit invocation • Layering • Repositories • Interpreters • Process Control

13. Architectural style - assignment Choose appropriate architecture style and develop software architecture for ATM!!! 15%

14. Design patterns - exercises • Design patterns by examples (Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides) • Creational patterns • Structural patterns • Behavioral patterns • One pattern from each group was described through example • Each student should find appropriate example to describe one pattern during the session

15. Design patterns – assignment(s) • From particular class diagram recognize used design patterns • Give general diagram (“schema”) of used design pattern • Find relationship between elements on “schema” and on particular class diagram • 15% • From given source code • (Draw class diagram) • Give general diagram (“schema”) of used design pattern • Find relationship between elements on “schema” and on particular class diagram • 15%
