Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using the Unified Modelling Language (UML)
This training course will give students a thorough grounding in the techniques used to analyse, document and develop systems using the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The UML was created through the unification of several popular object-oriented development approaches and is recognised as the standard industry method for object-oriented system development.
Objectives
- Object technology concepts and vocabulary
- How to capture, model and document system requirements
- Creating and refining the object model
- Generating the behavioural model
- Overview of UML design and architecture
Prerequisites
- Students are not required to have any prior experience of object-oriented technology but will benefit from having had some exposure to basic software engineering techniques and vocabulary.
