  • importance (moscow)
• elicitation requirements-engineering
  • stakeholders techniques stakeholders
  • outcome validation

business functions and use cases

• business functions - how to identify
• use cases - how to model
• uml use case diagrams
  • actors usecases
  • associations, dependencies

BPM

• business processes and how the are modelled
• BPMN vs (high level) UML activity

Data modelling

• erd concepts
  • subtypes
  • parrallel and reursive relationships
  • historical data
• normalisation
  • redundancy and anomalies
  • function and multivaly dependencies
  • normal forms

Modelling object structure

• oop concepts
  • state behaviiour encapsilation
  • class vs instance, object reference
• uml diagrams
  • steriotypes, visibility, multiplicity
  • specialsation/generalisation, navigability
  • erd vs class diagram

object behaviour

• inheritance
  • specialisation vs implementing an interface
  • separation of public private API (programming to interface)
• rich vs anaemic domaini models "processor objects"
• modelling behaviour with uml
  • sequnce diagrams
  • low level activity and state diagrams

round trip engineering

• foward engineering
  • erd -> SQL
  • uml class diagram -> e.g., java
  • correspondenc with use cases
• reverse engineering (code <- diagrams)

Data access

• data persistence file vs database
• database APIs (JDBC etc)
• DAOs - oner per use case (not just per domain class) - often programming via DAO interface

Database transactions

• ACID
• what and why
• commit vs rollback

SQL select

• select from where
• sorting grouping aggregation
• view, inner and outer joins, subqueries

data integrity

• nulls and their issues
• business rules, databas contrainsts, veification, validation
• in-database vs outside database
• in data base automation: sequence, triggers, stored procedures

softare architectures, patterns, and templates

• monolithic vs client/server vs distributed (services)
• separation of reponsilbilities
• "standard patters" of design (recognise)
• sysstem templates

performance and security

• performance requirements
  • how to quantify and measure
  • response time, workload, scalability
  • caching pooling
  • system reliability
• security and integrity requirements
  • consider throughout development
  • authentication and authorisation
  • principle of least privilege

cost benefit analysis

• project feasbility
  • need, funding, strong will
  • duration, priority, rick, uncertainty
  • should we, can we, is it worth it?
• economic feasibility:
  • costs vs benefits (tangigble/intangible)
  • payback time (break even), NPV, ROI
