Introduction:

This UML training course provides an in-depth technical study of object oriented analysis and design for computer systems. Modeling techniques are based on the Unified Modeling Language with special emphasis on specifying requirements with use cases and how to convert these into a related design. Each technique is taught to the level required for competence on a real project and understanding is tested and improved with case study. A short, smooth, iterative and incremental software process is described which improves speed of delivery, estimation and traceability. Students spend a significant part of the training course applying the techniques to a real-world project example either on paper or using a suitable case tool.

 

Prerequisites:

• Some experience of software engineering
• Some prior understanding of objects would be useful, but is not essential

Objectives:

 

• Become familiar with all phases of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD)
• Master the main features of the Unified Modeling Language (UML)
• Master the main concepts of Object Technologies and how to apply them at work
• Develop the ability to analyze and solve challenging Problem Domains
• Learn the Object Design Principles and understand how to apply them towards implementation

Project managers, system analysts, system designers, developers, programmers, anyone who is moving to, or using object technology and wishes to use the Unified Modeling Language for analysis and design.
