OO-226 Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML

Duration 5 Days
 
The Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML course effectively combines instruction on the software development processes, object-oriented technologies, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This instructor-led course uses lecture, group discussion, and facilitator-led activities (such as analyzing stakeholder interviews) to present one practical, complete, object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) roadmap from requirements gathering to system deployment.

Students are provided a pragmatic approach to object-oriented (OO) software development using a widely adapoted methodology (the Unified Process), the latest UML specification (version 1.4), and OO technologies, such as the Java(TM) programming language. This course progresses through: a primer on OO technology and software development methodologies, requirements gathering and analysis (including interviewing stakeholders), system architecture and design, implementation, testing, and deployment. The classroom lectures expose students to other proven OOAD practices, such as class-responsibility- colaboration (CRC) analysis (used to discover the Domain entities) and Robustness analysis (used to move from analysis to design).

 Who Can Benefit


Students who can benefit from this course are system architects, software engineers, systems analysts, and designers responsible for the conception and creation of object-oriented software applications.

 

Prerequisites

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:

    Skills Gained

    Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
  • Describe the object-oriented software development process, including object-oriented methodologies and workflows.
  • Gather system requirements through interviews with stakeholders.
  • Analyze system requirements to determine the use cases and domain model of the problem domain (the Requirements model).
  • Create a system architecture (the Architecture model) supporting the nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) and development constraints.
  • Create a system design (the Solution model) supporting the functional requirements (FRs).
