| This UML training course is aimed at
system analysts and developers who want to produce a detailed outside-in model of computer
system requirements using use cases and a detailed object oriented implementation-free
analysis model of a computer system from the system requirements. The strict approach to
writing effective use cases ensures that the results satisfy the needs of both non-technical and technical stakeholders.
Industry best practice system modelling techniques are based on the Unified Modelling Language v2.0 and are
taught within the |
context of a model-driven development process.
The models produced are sufficiently
detailed to form the basis for the design of systems using a variety of different architectures.
The advantages that using these techniques has for estimation, traceability, test development
and project management is 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 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

| Suitable for: |
| Business Analysts, Requirements Gatherers, Project Managers, System Analysts, System
Architects and Developers with at least 2 years experience. This course is not suitable for those
seeking certification as a step towards a qualification. See UML Certification for a detailed discussion. |
| 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.
