UML with Enterprise Architect for Beginner


Course Overview
This course is designed to be an introduction to Enterprise Architect; it is aimed at people who want to quickly gain a proficiency in the use of UML and Enterprise Architect and who have no prior experience in either. It is broad in its coverage and attempts to teach most of the important aspects of the language and application, its structure and features.

What will I learn?
This course is aimed at new comers to UML and EA and as such it's objectives are to cover the most commonly used diagrams and features in the tool. Delegates will gain a practical knowledge of UML and EA to allow them to immediately start working on projects using UML and EA.

Course Style
This course is hands on and consists of 50% lecture and 50% practical exercises.

Course Contents
Getting Started This module provides a general overview of Enterprise Architect, teaching the student the application's main features.

Diagrams This course will cover the most common UML 2.0 diagrams, these are: Use Case diagrams, Activity diagrams, Sequence diagrams, Communication diagrams, Class diagrams, Object diagrams, State Chart diagrams, Component diagrams, and Deployment diagrams. The focus will be on how to draw the diagrams as well as when to use the various diagram types.

Documenting a Project This module describes the unique documentation features that are part of the Enterprise Architect application. It covers how to use existing document templates and also how to customise your own templates to get what you need out of the model.

Version Control In this module we will look at how to integrate your Enterprise Architect model with your version control system. We will also cover baselining and discuss what processes should be followed to get the most out of version control.

Code Engineering This module will provide an introduction to the code generation and reverse engineering features of Enterprise Architect. Topics covered will be forward and reverse engineering of code and databases, transformations, and debugging within EA.

Prerequisites
Some knowledge of OO concepts would be ideal but is not required

    Testimonials

    "An enjoyable well balanced course delivered by a knowledgeable trainer, Malcolm Matthews, and pitched at the right level for BA's new to both UML and EA".
    Julian Hodge Bank

     

    “We have recently upgraded our corporate version of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (from 6.1 to 7.1 – moving from .eap to DBMS repository) and have a number of new team members who are new to EA.

    To make sure all our Applications Analysts attain foundation level understanding of the functionality of EA when used for Object Orientated Analysis and Design. We chose Dunstan Thomas to deliver our in-house training and have been very please with the results. During the four day course the trainer (Malcolm Matthews) adapted the speed and content to suit our needs and was happy to focus on areas where we had found issue or had concerns. We also send two team members (who will be our Administrators of EA) onto the EA for Power Users course and again the trainer (Stuart Trotter) was happy to adapt and focus on areas of functionality, with plenty of hands on demonstrations of EA.

    As a result we have a greater confidence in our abilities to work with EA going forward and believe Dunstan Thomas played a key role in making this possible.”
