Three Day Course

Performance-Based Objectives

You will explore the elements of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and draw the 13 diagrams of the UML.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Be introduced to the diagramming languages of UML and the concepts involved in the software development process.
• Develop a system using Use Cases.
• Create Class diagrams having responsibilities, relationships, and an Object diagram.
• Depict interactions with objects using Sequence diagrams.
• Create State Machine and Activity diagrams.
• Create Communication, Timing, and Interaction Overview diagrams.
• Describe the actual implementation of a system using the Component, Composite Structure, and Deployment diagrams.
• Layer the system into packages.
• Manage and schedule the software development process.

Course Description

You are familiar with the object-oriented concepts and basic Java programming used to develop a software system. Modern software systems are complex. By pictorially representing the software design and business processes, organizations can deliver higher quality systems to the customers and end users. In this course, you will be introduced to the basic concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), Model Driven Architecture (MDA), and the Unified Software Development Process. You will also draw all the 13 diagrams of the UML.

Prerequisites

To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the following Element K courses or have equivalent knowledge:

• Object Oriented Programming (Second Edition) (required)
• Java 2: Programming Language – Third Edition (recommended)
