Acquire an in-depth understanding of how to model specifications for new generation systems using the UML

Course Objectives:

• Understand basic OO concepts and terminology

• Appreciate OO development methodologies

• Iterative and incremental including lifecycles

• Learn how to use the UML modelling language

• Use the notation of UML diagrams such as Activity Diagrams, Use Case, Class, Sequence, State Machine and Package Diagrams

• Understand how the various models relate to each other and know when to use each model in the system development life cycle

Course Overview

This course will give IT professionals an in–depth understanding on using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to define, model and specify requirements for new systems.

The course materials are based on best practices that have evolved since 1995 when UML became the de facto modelling language for object oriented systems analysis and design.

The techniques taught on this course focus on understanding, modelling and specifying requirements which can be implemented on object oriented platforms to produce application solutions

Course Delivery

The course comprises instructor-led training, supplemented by readings, a text book, exercises, workplace assignments and practical group work.

Course Prerequisites

We do not exclude any delegate who is strongly motivated to do the course, so there are no strict pre-requisites. The course is, however, more than an overview and contains intensive modelling exercises

Course Assessment

There are no formal assessments (exams, tests, presentations etc.) for this course. However, to earn a certificate of attendance, delegates will be required to:

• attend all five course days

• actively participate in exercises and discussion workshops.

Course Accreditation

FTI was the first IIBA Endorsed Education Provider (EEP) in South Africa, and is the only EEP in SA to hold Charter Status. This specific course is also endorsed by IIBA.

Faculty Training Institute was approved as an Approved Education & Training Provider with the ISETT SETA in January 2003. FTI is currently in the process of applying for full accreditation, conditional on the future structure of SAQA and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). FTI is also actively engaged with various Skills Governing Bodies (SGBs) in ISETT to develop standards and qualifications for business analysts

This course falls into a category loosely defined by SAQA as ‘vocational short courses’ because it requires less than a year’s full-time study.
