Systems Analysis Using the UML
This course teaches the practical techniques for dynamic (behavioral) and static (structural) visual modeling using the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
Course SpecificationsCourse identifier: SAUML.
Course duration: 8.0 hours / 8.0 PDUs.
Delivery schedule: One day.
Course DescriptionObject-oriented techniques for software-intensive systems analysis matured in the late 1990s. Today, the fundamental principles of visual modeling are well-established and supported by a rich set of standard tools, techniques, and approaches. This course teaches the practical techniques for dynamic (behavioral) and static (structural) visual modeling using the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
Course Objective: Students will discover and apply the techniques of system abstraction, requirement classification as specified by IEEE standards 830 and 1233, and visual modeling using the UML standard maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG). Emphasis is placed on separating conceptual and logical modeling from physical modeling. The bridge from raw requirements to well-formed requirements is built through the integration of visual with textual system models.
Target Student: This course is designed for business analysts, business system analysts, and information technology specialists.
Prerequisites: Students should complete the following course or should possess equivalent knowledge:
Business Analysis Fundamentals
Delivery Method: Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.
Performance-Based ObjectivesUpon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
delineate the advantages and disadvantages of object-oriented techniques;
develop skill in abstracting multiple system perspectives in a use case diagram and validating these perspectives through iterative analysis;
apply the best-practice recommendations for well-formed requirements as specified in IEEE standards 830 and 1233;
iteratively develop a system conceptual design by drilling down from a business use-case model to lower, more detailed levels;
produce a model of the system vocabulary using a class diagram;
apply the five views of the UML system architecture;
use interaction, sequence, and activity diagrams;
convert raw requirements into well-formed requirements by integrating visual and textual system models.
