Object-Oriented Analysis using UML Course

Course Description

The Object-Oriented Analysis course focuses on the analysis and documentation of object-oriented systems using established OO methodologies and the UML. Delegates learn to write use cases, develop activity and class diagrams, and participate in CRC sessions. Object-oriented concepts are explained and illustrated using simple examples.

Course Objectives

Delegates who complete the Object-Oriented Analysis course will be able to:

• Understand object-oriented concepts and the object-oriented project lifecycle.
• Write effective use cases.
• Analyse a system in terms of the objects involved.
• Identify high-level classes and the relationships between them.
• Participate in CRC sessions.

Intended Audience

The Object-Oriented Analysis course is ideal for business analysts, project managers and system architects who need to understand the object-oriented process, analyse object-oriented systems, and produce UML diagrams.

Course Prerequisites

No prior object-oriented or programming knowledge is required.

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