Introduction to OO Analysis and Design - A 2-Day Course

 Closed In-House Course

This course provides practical training in the techniques and application of Object Oriented Analysis and Design. Attendees will learn how to apply OO design techniques, described by the UML, to their projects. Topics covered include OO overview and the conversion of Requirements into UML diagrams and documents which directly control the building of successful software product. The course identifies the Business Benefits of the UML approach and discusses real-life issues of the introduction of this technology into teams. Techniques will be demonstrated by the use of Rational Rose together with Java toolsets, such as JBuilder and Object testing with Junit.

Course Objectives

• Provide an overview of OO technology
• Explain OO terminology and how it is applied
• Show how OO design and analysis simply translates into programming structure
• Demonstrate the end-to-end design capabilities of the UML
• Show how design tools like Rational Rose and Together soft can help the Designer
• Explain Design Patterns, Frameworks and Reuse
• Demonstrate the logic of a simple Design Pattern
• Provide practical experience of performing an OO design and analysis using the UML.
• Show how acceptance tests are a natural spin-off of the UML technique
• Show how OO together with tools such as JUnit lead to better quality software
