You Will Learn How To
- Analyse user requirements and design robust, change-tolerant software using UML
- Select the right software architecture for your evolving business needs
- Design a robust core of stored information for new or existing legacy requirements
- Control complex behaviour for effective decision making and user interaction
- Adopt a development process that ensures robust database and Web-enabled systems
- Achieve optimum quality systems through UML techniques and supporting CASE tools
Course Benefits In today's rapidly moving business environment, competitive advantage is achieved through the speedy delivery of responsive software that can adapt to evolving technology and changing user expectations. Controlling and managing such software depends on three critical elements: standards, architecture and process. This comprehensive introduction provides you with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilise these elements, delivering robust, future-proof software, particularly within database and Web-enabled environments.
Who Should Attend Systems analysts, business analysts and anyone involved in managing, specifying or designing products for business intelligence, database, Web-enabled, knowledge management, or user interaction software.
Hands-on Training Exercises and an evolving case study provide experience building "future-proof" software designs and include:
- Deciding the best migration strategy for legacy systems
- Establishing behavioural scope with UML use case diagrams
- Refining information structure for database design
- Describing control behaviour with a UML state chart
- Detailing control flow with UML activity diagrams
- Expanding a UML class diagram to show structure of the user interface
- Incorporating best practice into the software specification
