Object Oriented Analysis & Design with UML (Advanced)

Course Overview

The first part of this course teaches proven, effective analysis techniques related to event, process, information and interface modelling. The aim is to define a technology and jargon free Essential Logical Model. Once defined the essential model can be mapped during the define phase into a design model that can be Object Oriented, object based., hybrid or classical depending on the chosen development technology.

The second part of the course studies the principal and practical skills for creating good design using Object Oriented Technology. Delegates will learn how to map the Essential Model into a Design (Physical) Model. The modeling notation is UML (the approved OMG standard) and the course is language independent i.e. it does not consider the mapping of design elements to code.

The development process presented is synthesis, a neutral approach that does not consider OO a complete break from the past. Thus it synthesises best practices from past and present.

Audience

This course is intended primarily for systems analysts, designers,programmers and project managers.The analysis section (first 3 1 /2 days)would also be of value to problem domain experts involved in the specification stage.

Skills Gained

By the end of the course participants should be able to:

• Define the essential model of an information system.
• Create a generic OO design model derived from the essential model.
• Understand the WHY of each model and how all the models fit together.

Prerequisites

Objects and Components Demystified (2 day course)or

equivalent knowledge.Analysts,designers and project managers should have at least one years work experience in information systems development.
