Course Description
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with UML (OOAD/UML) presents the concepts and techniques necessary to effectively use system requirements captured in use cases to drive the development of a robust design model. In this intensive, hands-on workshop, participants learn to apply the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to fundamental object-oriented analysis and design concepts including architecture, objects, classes, components, stereotypes, relationships, and all supporting diagrams.
The UML is used throughout the project lifecycle to capture and communicate analysis and design decisions. Thus, the UML notation is taught in the context of an iterative, use case-driven, architecture-centric process. In addition, language-specific examples of common UML constructs are provided in a separate appendix.
Audience
This course is intended for practitioners who desire an understanding of object-oriented analysis and design concepts, as well as hands-on practical experience applying the techniques within a use-case-driven, architecture-centric, and iterative development process. This includes analysts, designers, and software developers.
Note: Students taking this course should be currently involved in doing analysis and design work or developing analysis and design models using the UML.
Prerequisites
You should complete:
- DEV275: Essentials of Visual Modeling with UML (RD201)
To benefit from this course, you should have a solid understanding of object technology, including familiarity with:
- Use-case models, including use-case diagrams and specifications
- Creating sequence and collaboration diagrams and creating a class diagram from an interaction diagram
- Documenting an association on a class diagram
- Classes, objects, and associations, and knowing how to create simple interaction and class diagrams
- Finding classes and distributing class behavior
- UML Analysis class stereotypes, including boundary, control, and entity. Explaining how to identify class responsibilities.
- Applying these techniques in a software development environment
Course Objectives
- Apply an iterative, use case-driven, architecture-centric process to the development of a robust design model.
- Use the UML to represent the design model.
- Apply the concepts of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
- Explain the different views of software architecture, the key mechanisms that are defined in support of that architecture, and the effect of the architecture and mechanisms on the produced design.
- Describe some basic design considerations, including the use of patterns
