Object-Oriented Analysis & Design using UML Course

Course Description

The Object-Oriented Analysis and Design course focuses on the analysis, design and documentation of object-oriented systems using established OO methodologies and the UML. Delegates write use cases, develop activity, class and sequence diagrams, and participate in CRC sessions. Object-oriented concepts are explained and illustrated using Java. Design principles and patterns are introduced.

Course Objectives

Delegates who complete the OO Analysis and Design course using UML will be able to:

• Understand object-oriented concepts and the object-oriented project lifecycle.
• Write effective use cases.
• Design a system using classes and class relationships.
• Develop high-level class diagrams and be able to apply the MVC paradigm to class design.
• Develop sequence and collaboration diagrams.
• Understand object-oriented design principles and design patterns.

Intended Audience

The Object-Oriented Analysis and Design course is intended for business analysts, system architects, developers and programmers who need to analyse, design and develop object-oriented systems, and who need to use the Unified Modelling Language (UML).

Course Prerequisites

Knowledge of an object-oriented language is recommended, although not essential.

Please ensure you meet the prerequisites for the Object-Oriented Analysis & Design using UML Course before you attend the course. Read the importance of course prerequisites to understand why this is necessary.
