Design Patterns in Action: Development of Java
Applications for Configuration of
Telecommunications Network Models.
Masters thesis, National University of Ireland Maynooth.
Abstract
During my work placement in a software development role at Ericsson, I have
worked on a diverse range of software applications written in the Java pro-
gramming language. These applications are utilised both within Ericsson, and
by telecommunications network providers around the world, as part of a large
software system responsible for the management of telecommunications network
models. In this dissertation, I describe my work on two substantial software applications comprising part of this larger system, with a focus upon the software
engineering techniques that were most relevant to my work.
Numerous design patterns were implemented during my work on each of
these projects. Accordingly, both theoretical and practical aspects of relevant
design patterns are discussed in depth. Several other software engineering techniques - code refactoring, software testing, and code reviews - collectively facilitated the delivery of high quality code. These techniques are each discussed in
the context of my project work.
Having completed the two software projects described in this dissertation and
witnessed their successful deployment, it is clear that each of the aforementioned
software engineering techniques played an important role. Knowledge and application of these techniques accelerated the development of these projects, and
minimised faults in the final delivered product.
