After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• estimate and quantify the properties of large software systems
• describe development procedures that are typical for large software systems.
• describe essential architectural approaches of large software systems
• determine and assess basic approaches to developing software for mobile devices
• impart basic knowledge of (open source) eco-systems, as well as selected tools and frameworks of large software systems.

• Overview of characteristics of advanced software systems 
  • System size and complexity 
  • System dependability, Quality of Service (QoS) 
  • Extended Software Lifecycle 
  • Mission/safety criticality 
• Software Engineering approaches for advanced software systems  
  • Architecture styles, such as component-based software engineering  
  • Lifecycle management and documentation 
  • Software design patterns  
• Component-based engineering of complex software systems  
• Automation in developing advanced software systems ¿ Source code management  
  • Continuous integration and testing 
  • Advanced build management 
  • Persistence techniques (e.g. object-relational mapping) 
• Aspects of enterprise architectures 
• Overview of selected research and industrial topics in ASE 
  • Software engineering for mobile devices 
  • Migration project case studies 
  • Ecosystems for software engineering tools and frameworks

The lecture provides the concepts and methods and allows reflecting experience from case studies. More detailed documentation will be made available. Complex issues can be dealt with interactively (by questions from the students).

The proof of performance takes place in the form of a written lecture examination. The use of any documents during the exam is prohibited.

• The working time for the exam is 90 minutes.
• The exam is administered in Tuwel and held with Zoom.
• Closed Book exam
• You will need an external camera pointed sideways at you and the monitor(s) (the monitor screen must be visible, if necessary you will be asked to adapt the camera position). Otherwise, participation is not possible.
• A front camera is not required.
• If there are other monitors around you that are not visible on the camera image, they must be covered with a cloth.
• Please guarantee that we can contact you via audio. 
• The LVA management reserves the right to invite individual students to an review meeting after the exam (plausibility check of answers)

Basic knowledge of Software Engineering and Projectmanagement
