UML Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

This intensive five-day course provides a practical working knowledge of object-oriented analysis and design. Participants apply analysis and design processes using UML notation to a case study in order to see where and how concepts are best implemented. This course emphasizes the effectiveness of using a consistent, robust methodology in object-oriented design through extensive written exercises.

Participants should have experience in analysis and design plus an overall understanding of object-oriented concepts.

After completing this course, participants should be able to:

• Describe the analysis and design process
• Utilize UML diagrams at different stages of the development life cycle
• Derive use cases and create use case diagrams
• Create static structure, behavior, and implementation diagrams via an analytic process
• Create an object-oriented system design

This course may prove useful to people such as systems analysts, designers and developers who will design and develop object-oriented programs.
