DT offers a core set of courses aimed at covering the Application Lifecycle, from requirements gathering, analysis and design to development, testing, process and project management.

UML- Designing Java Applications with Together for Eclipse

Course Overview
This 3-day course helps software architects and system designers learn how to use Borland® Together® for Eclipse to develop high-quality architecture designs using Unified Modelling Language (UML). Taught in a highly-interactive environment, this course includes a mix of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises.

What will I learn?
During this course, you will learn how to perform typical architect’s tasks using Borland® Together® for Eclipse in the most efficient way, maximizing the benefits from your organization’s investment in Borland® Together® technologies.
The course starts with a discussion of how to review existing use case and analysis models. Next, you learn how to define a high-level architecture in terms subsystems and interfaces and how to model deployment scenarios. After that, developing detailed implementation models that depict static structure and dynamic behaviour of individual subsystems is covered.

You will learn how to evaluate your design models using Together® audits and metrics, as well as through developing system prototypes using Together® code generation capabilities and the LiveSource™ feature. Finally, we discuss generating reports that document your design models.

The heart of the course is a series of comprehensive exercises built around a realistic sample system.
