OO analysis and design with UML (EN/NL/FR)

During this training, we will learn how to do the analysis and design for creating a well-structured object oriented application. In this three-day ABIS course, we will use UML diagrams as a key tool for better understanding of all aspects of our design.

This course

• discusses the analysis and design phases of creating structured object oriented applications
• offers a thorough knowledge of  the different UML diagrams, necessary for the set-up and documentation of re-usable software
• discusses a practical approach to the OOAD process as applied by diverse methods, such as Agile Modelling
• gives the participant an insight into the use of the UML notation in several process models
• introduces the use of design patterns and the creation of distributed applications

Intended for

Analysts, designers, programmers, consultants and teamleaders of projects based on OO-technology.

Backgroud

Some familiarity with basic software engineering problems and techniques (see course OO concepts and techniques). Familiarity with an object oriented language is also an advantage (cf. course Java programming).

You can test yourself to see if you have enough background by filling out the on-line self-test.
