| This UML training course is aimed at system architects, analyst/programmers
and developers who want to define detailed outside-in system requirements using use cases, a detailed object
oriented implementation-free model of the system from those requirements and a layered, component-based,
model of system architecture and design in order to maximise the maintainability, re-use and extensibility
of the resulting code. The industry best practice modelling techniques are based on the Unified Modelling
Language v2.3 and are taught within
|
the context of a model-driven software development process.
The modelling employed is applicable to a wide variety of technologies, sufficiently detailed for code
generation and traceable from requirements through to code. The advantages that using these techniques has
for estimation, test development and management is discussed. Each technique is taught to the level
required for competence on a real project. Understanding is tested with exercises based on a real-world project example
either using a suitable UML modelling tool or on paper. |
| Delegates will learn: |
- The basics and the necessary detail of the Unified Modelling Language
- The basics and the detail of Object Orientation
- 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 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 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
- How to develop a flexible system architecture from an object oriented analysis
model
- How to develop component and deployment models for the system
- How to model the design of a component using sub-systems and interfaces
- How to build libraries of re-useable classes using generalisation and inheritance
- How to model the use of technology and frameworks as series of design patterns
- How to integrate libraries and frameworks into the design of components
- How to generate frame code and keep the design and code models synchronised
- How to specify, analyse, architect, design, build, test and deliver components as part of an incremental
model-driven development process

Course attendance is limited to 12 students. Courses start at 9.30am on the first day, 9.00am on
subsequent days and finish at 5.00pm each day. Students normally use a computer for the exercises, but these can be
performed on paper if required. For a discussion on using a UML modelling tool please see
Modelling Tool Use on Courses.
Printed course manuals for each student with copies of all presentations, exercises and solutions are provided.

On-Site (In-House) Courses: |
| The client is expected to provide an appropriate venue, refreshments, XGA/WXGA projector and screen,
whiteboard or flipchart and at least one computer per two students loaded with a suitable UML modelling tool,
unless exercises are to be performed on paper. For a full discussion of on-site course issues please see
