Object-Oriented Analysis and Design

Duration (in days):

5 Description:

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design course covers object-oriented analysis and design, designers and architects need to know to successfully execute object-oriented projects. The course teaches a proven method of building software systems by using activities of domain/business modeling, system analysis, and system architecture and design. The course teaches and practices a set of skills applicable for both agile and lightweight as well as more rigorous projects. The course uses UML, the standard modeling notation. The participants also learn the powerful techniques of refactoring, directly improving the quality of designs and code.

The emphasis in the Object-Oriented Analysis and Design course is on making participants able to deliver high quality models and designs leading to efficient, easily maintainable implementations. The participants will learn a productive path from problem domain and requirements to software components.

The course provides numerous exercises and several case studies that enable participants to practice the learned material.

Objectives:

Create models using the industry standard UML notation
Effectively communicate using models
Apply productive techniques for object-oriented analysis and design
Be able to represent problem domain and requirements as models
Transition from analysis models to designs, using design patterns
Create efficient and easily maintainable designs
Improve designs using refactoring
Go from models to object-oriented code using a set of mappings between the designs and code
