Object Oriented Analysis and Design with UML and Enterprise Architec

Course Overview
The application of OOA/D techniques has substantial benefits in reducing system development risks and mproving the quality of object-oriented software developments. UML (the Unified Modelling Language) has emerged as the de-facto standard for OO modelling techniques. This this intensive hands-on workshop, you will gain practical experience of the major techniques of UML using the Enterprise Architect cast tool.

What will I learn?

Undertake use case analysis as part of the analysis and specification process for computer systems

Develop and refine sequence diagrams that guarantee the system specified can be implemented using your object model

Develop state models to assist in the specification of systems

Use design patterns to assist your designs

Use packages to structure large systems

Be aware of the elements of technical domain design (e.g. persistence and database interfacing, distribution, user interface, external system interfacing, etc.)

Understand how object models may be implemented directly in OO languages such as C++, Java and VB.

Be able to use Enterprise Architect to model systems with the UML notations.

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.”
