Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML: Hands-On

Course: 323   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 5 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Capture user requirements in use cases and transform them into detailed designs
  • Exploit the rich object-oriented modelling provided by Unified Modeling Language (UML)
  • Adapt to changing requirements with iterative techniques and component-based design
  • Design agile solutions optimised for modern object-oriented languages and platforms
  • Refactor design models by applying proven design patterns
  • Verify implemented designs with automated unit and system tests

Course Benefits
Object-oriented (OO) analysis and design is the principal industry-proven method for developing reliable, modular, testable programs and systems. This course provides practical skills in the latest OO requirements gathering, analysis, design, and testing methods. Intensive hands-on exercises offer you a working knowledge that turns concepts into practice.

Who Should Attend
Anyone involved in developing systems on modern object-oriented platforms. Project teams benefit greatly by sharing the same methodology with codevelopers or with supportive management. Familiarity with basic OO concepts is helpful, but not assumed.

Hands-on Training
Hands-on exercises provide experience using industry-standard UML case tools. Exercises and demonstrations include:
  • Capturing and refining use case requirements
  • Producing class and communication diagrams as part of an analysis model
  • Transforming analysis behavioural models into design sequence diagrams
  • Investigating round-trip engineering of source code
  • Refactoring UML designs by applying design patterns
  • Sharing models between developers using a repository
