Semester 6
Spring semester
Today software development is supported by a high number of software tools from make systems to source control. During this course students will learn the theoretical background and the practical usage of the most fundamental tools. Students will participate in the implementation of a smaller project and practice its maintenance. They became familiar with regular expressions, build systems (gmake). Using source and version control systems they learn how to work in small-medium sized teams. We overview the building life-cycle: compilation, linking, running/interpreting and getting familiar with the creation and usage of dynamic and static libraries, binary compatibility and patching issues. We will introduce some code quality metrics and learn refactoring techniques. Test tools and test methods will be emphasized and practiced. Students will meet with profiling and measuring tools and practicing performance increasing techniques. We will conclude with tools of documentation.
