ELEC5619: Object Oriented Application Frameworks
2026 unit information
This unit aims to introduce students to the main issues involved in producing large Internet systems by using and building application frameworks. Frameworks allow great reuse so developers do not have to design and implement applications from scratch, as students have done in ELEC3610 The unit lays down the basic concepts and hands on experience on the design and development of enterprise systems, emphasizing the development of systems using design patterns and application frameworks. A project-based approach will introduce the problems often found when building such systems, and will require students to take control of their learning. A project-based approach will introduce the problems often found when building such systems, and will require students to take control of their learning. Several development Java frameworks will be used, including Spring, Hibernate, and others. Principles of design patterns will also be studied.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Compare modern web development platforms using the principles and techniques developed in the course
- LO2. Investigate, design, and document a web application based on user needs, using various information resources, feasibility analysis, and system modelling techniques.
- LO3. Deploy a large complex web application using a specific modern application framework to the extent of the material presented
- LO4. Evaluate the benefits and trade-offs of using domain specific software frameworks and design patterns for web development.
- LO5. Customize software frameworks and development tools to meet changing user requirements through tools, principles and techniques developed throughout the course.
- LO6. Work effectively in a group environment by taking responsibility for defined roles, and then interacting in a constructive manner with the group by both contributing and evaluating others' viewpoints in order to reach a multilateral agreement on and execution of the solution
- LO7. Demonstrate ethical and professional responsibility in software engineering practice, including awareness of privacy, legal issues, accessibility, and the societal impact of technology.
- LO8. Communicate technical and often complex material clearly and concisely in reports and presentations tailored to technical and non-technical audiences.
- LO9. Identify and mitigate common security threats and vulnerabilities in web applications, especially in object-oriented application frameworks.
- LO10. Assess and apply quality assurance techniques, testing strategies, and deployment pipelines to ensure software reliability.
