| This UML training course is aimed at business and system analysts
and developers who want to create a model of the business, including business processes, and from
it produce a detailed system requirements specification with use cases and a technology-free system
analysis model. The industry best practice modelling techniques used are based on the Unified
Modelling Language v2.0 and are taught within the context of a model-driven software development process in a way that satisfies the needs of both technical
and |
non-technical stakeholders. The models produced may form the basis for the design of systems using a variety
of different architectures and are traceable from the business process through
to each primitive system function. Resulting improvements to estimation, test development and project
management are also discussed. Each technique is taught to the level required for competence on a real
project. Understanding is tested and improved with exercises based on a real-world project example and
using
a suitable case tool. |
| Delegates will learn: |
- The basics and the necessary detail of the Unified Modelling Language
- The basics and the necessary detail of Object Orientation
- How to model a business process at multiple levels of abstraction using a hierarchy of
UML activity diagrams (flow charts)
- How to structure a business process model using activity diagrams,
business use case diagrams and packages for multi-user access and change management
- How to model business concepts and facts using classes and their relationships on class diagrams
- How to model business worker roles together with line and operational relationships using
classes, packages and their relationships
- How to integrate business modelling techniques into a conventional approach to project documentation
- How to map a business model into a system requirements model using actors, use
cases and classes such that each element is traceable from one model to the other
- How to create a first cut overview of functional requirements with actors and use cases on a use case diagram
- How to write an effective use case description in a way that satisfies both non-technical and technical stakeholders
- How to specify the flow of events as a basic flow and alternate flows
- How to restructure the use case diagram to handle complex relationships between use cases without bloating the use case model
- How to integrate the use case model with non-functional requirements, data requirements, business rules and screen prototyping
- How a use case driven approach to requirements gathering improves estimation, project planning, test development and traceability
- How to create a detailed model of system data using classes and their relationships
- How to recognise complex data constructs and to use the appropriate syntax
to model them
- How to map the functionality of the system requirements onto the object model
using sequence diagrams
- How to structure the modelling in the form of a use case implementation
- How to model the dynamics of system data and functionality using statecharts
- How to model at a consistent level of abstraction
- How the modelling performed during system analysis fits into an incremental
model-driven development process

| On-Site Courses: |
| Training courses are delivered at the clients' site
and attendance is limited to 12 students. Courses normally start at 9.30am on the first
day and 9.00am on subsequent days. Courses normally finish at 5.00pm each day. The client is expected to
provide an appropriate venue, equipment and refreshments. Required equipment includes an SVGA/XGA
projector and screen,
|
whiteboard or flipchart and at least one computer
per two students loaded with a UML case tool. For a discussion on case tool use please see
Case Tool Use on Courses. Printed course manuals for each student
with copies of all presentations, exercises and solutions are provided. For a full discussion of on-site
course issues please see On-Site Course Logistics.
