Mastering Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with UML 2.0

Course details

Mastering Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Unified Modeling Language (OOAD/UML) 2.0 presents the concepts and techniques necessary to effectively use system requirements captured in use cases to drive the development of a robust design model. In this intensive, hands-on workshop, learn to apply UML 2.0 notation to fundamental OOAD concepts, including architecture, objects, classes, components, subsystems, stereotypes, relationships, and supporting diagrams. Use UML throughout the project life-cycle to capture and communicate analysis and design decisions. Thus, you learn UML 2.0 notation in the context of an iterative, use case-driven, architecture-centric process. In addition, language-specific examples of common UML constructs are provided in a separate appendix.

Note: There is no visual modeling toolset training incorporated into this methodology course.

Audience:

Analysts, designers, and software developers, and other practitioners, who desire an understanding of object-oriented analysis and design concepts and hands-on practical experience applying the techniques within a use-case-driven, architecture-centric, and iterative development process.

Note: You should be currently involved in analysis and design work or in developing analysis and design models using UML.

Skills Taught:

• Apply an iterative, use case-driven, architecture-centric process to the development of a robust design model
• Use UML 2.0 to represent the design model
• Apply the concepts of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism
• Explain the different views of software architecture, the key mechanisms that are defined in support of that architecture, and the effect of the architecture and mechanisms on the produced design
• Describe some basic design considerations, including the use of patterns
