Welcome

• Thomas Schoerner-Sadenius (DESY)

Room: SR4

An introduction to UML

• Stefan Kluth (MPI für Physik)

Room: SR4 Working on large(r) software projects makes the use of a common language an invaluable tool. This lecture will introduce UML as of version 1.3 and practise its use.

Test-Driven Development

• Peter Steinbach (Institut für Kern- und Teilchenphysik)

Room: SR4 This course will introduce software testing "why and what"'s in general. The main focus of this lecture will be put on Unit Testing and Test-Driven Development upon real-life examples in C++ and Python.

Refactoring

• Maria Grazia Pia (CERN)

Room: SR4 Code will never be perfect. Even worse, code always deteriorates! To cope with bad or inflexible code, the source code must or may be refactored once or twice or every day. For this, a small set of methods will be presented than may help developers to embed their daily duties into a formal basis. Further, the transformation of legacy code is discussed based on experiences made upon upgrading geant4.

Class design

• Peter Steinbach (Institut für Kern- und Teilchenphysik)

Room: SR4 An introduction to class design principles following Robert C. Martin. Exercises will be provided that are worked upon during the class.

Project work Room: SR4

Design patterns 1

• Stefan Kluth (MPI für Physik)

Room: SR4 This lecture is at the heart of this workshop. It will try to gently introduce a selection of Gang-Of-Four design patterns and discuss their implementation.

Design patterns 2

• Stefan Kluth (MPI für Physik)

Room: SR4 This lecture is at the heart of this workshop. It will try to continue addressing Gang-Of-Four design patterns and discuss their implementation.

Project work Room: SR4 Students are grouped into development teams that can choose from a small pool of software projects related to scientific questions. Each group will be assigned to a tutor to guide their activities and to help incorporate the skills acquired during course into their software development.

OO Basics

• Stefan Kluth (MPI für Physik)

Room: SR4

Good software practice

• Jan Engels (DESY)

Room: SR4 This course will give an introduction to code source management tools (e.g. subversion and mercurial) and value their use in everyday coding. Further, different aspects of coding style are discussed upon real-life examples. For working effectively with larger scale projects, testing and compilation should be a one-step process during the project build. This talk will also introduce the tools and methods provided by cmake/ctest.
