Computer science B.U.T., third year, Application integration and information system management track

Judging software quality

Say what quality software is, check it together and build it by letting tests lead.

Keeping software alive

Take over existing software: understand it, cover it with tests, refactor it and hunt its failures without breaking it.

Storing without tables

Choose, model and query a key-value, document, wide-column or graph database, and make it hold across several machines.

Attacking to defend better

Think like an attacker to segment a network, configure its firewall and rank the risks that remain..

Staying up despite failure

Anticipate failures, detect them, protect the data and bring a service back within the promised time.

Deciding with a model

Solve a linear programme with the simplex method, tackle a combinatorial problem with a heuristic and predict with a classification or a regression.

Shrinking the footprint of digital technology

Measure what digital technology costs the environment and pick, with figures, the levers that really shrink that footprint.

Who runs tech

Know who employs IT people, how those employers are organised, and where the money comes from in services, data and the new models.

Leading a team

Put a project team together, plan the skills it will need, make it succeed and adapt your way of leading to each person.

Starting a company

Take a start-up project from the idea to registration: choose a legal form, describe the business model, build a business plan and balance its funding.

Leading change and innovating

Prepare a reorganisation, choose the tools that get it accepted, support the people it affects, and take a new product or an innovative project from idea to market.

Measuring how an information system performs

Put figures on what an information system costs and brings, decide on an investment, keep a budget, map the applications and check that the whole is under control.

Tailoring enterprise software

Fit an enterprise package to a company's need: configure it first, develop a module when the standard falls short, then test it and put it into service without breaking what exists.

The law of code, data and platforms

Know what the law allows and requires when you write code, process personal data, sign a contract or put a service online..

English for IT

Read documentation, a tutorial or a requirements specification in English and write technical documentation, with the words of the trade.

English at work

Apply for a job, write, speak up and work in a team in English.

Communicating at work

Know how to find information, gather a need, write the documents of the trade, hold a defence or a meeting and support users, choosing each time the form that suits the reader or listener.

Landing an internship or a job

Know how to read the market and a job posting, build a CV and a letter that answer it, hold an interview, and control what the web and your network say about you.
