Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML Training

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML training provides deeper understanding on the use of software modeling and object-oriented technologies required in a software development process. This course will explain you the fundamentals and usability of the most widely used graphical modeling language― Unified Modeling Language (UML) version 2.2. Get complete information on the object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) process starting from gathering the requirements till system design.

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML training also prepares you for writing the Java (EE) Enterprise Architect Certified Master Assignment exam.

At the completion of this Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML course, the participants will exhibit the following skills:

• Describe the concepts, fundamentals, and terminology of object-oriented (OO)
• Elucidate the modeling concepts and Object-Oriented Software Development (OOSD) process covering  Requirements Gathering, Requirements Analysis, Architecture, Design, Implementation, Testing & Deployment
• Create Use Diagrams, Use Case Scenarios, Activity Diagrams, and Forms
• Use Interaction Diagrams to transform the analysis conducted into designs
• Create the Solution model (a system design) to support the functional requirements (FRs)
• Create the Architecture model (a system architecture) to support the nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) and development constraints

Target audience

• Java Developers
• Java EE Developers
• Application Developers
• System Analysts
