Object Oriented System Architecture and Design using UML Training Course - OOSAD UML - 2 Days Download a pdf version of this page
This UML training course is aimed at system architects and developers who want to create 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 well defined model-driven software development process. The modelling employed is applicable to a wide variety of technologies and sufficiently detailed for code generation. 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 detail of object orientation
  • The necessary detail of the Unified Modelling Language
  • 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 architect, design, build, test and deliver components as part of an incremental model-driven development process
Suitable for:
System Architects, System Designers, Developers and Programmers with at least 2 years experience, preferably in a modern object-oriented language. This course is not suitable for those seeking certification as a step towards a qualification. See UML Certification for a detailed discussion.
Pre-requisites:
Completion of the CRaG Systems Object Oriented System Analysis using UML Training Course or equivalent
