OOAD with UML

This curriculum introduces OOAD and the UML, describes the OOAD development process and teaches how to plan for a project. Additionally, this curriculum focuses on analyzing and modeling system behavior, dynamic modeling and static modeling. Lastly, it covers using patterns in the design process and implementing and constructing the program.

Audience

The targeted audiences for this curriculum are System Administrators, Application Developers, System Analysts, Software Engineers and Programmer/Analysts. Learners should be familiar with the concept of object orientation and have experience with application development. It would be helpful for learners to be familiar with distributed programming (multi-tier architecture), relational or object database programming, transactions, and component technology.

Course Contents

Part 1: Introduction and Planning

• Identify the benefits of OOAD.
• Identify the advantages and concepts of UML.
• Identify the types of development process and analyze the artifacts created in the requirements phase of a development process.
• Create, analyze, and evaluate use cases.
  

Part 2: Analysis, State Diagrams and Activity Diagrams

• Identify how to analyze requirements to develop, interpret and evaluate a conceptual model.
• Identify how to analyze system behavior and represent, interpret, create, and evaluate system diagrams and system operation contract documents.
• Identify how to represent, interpret, create, and evaluate state and activity diagrams.

Part 3: Interaction Diagrams, Class Diagrams and Packages

• Identify how to create and interpret diagrams that represent a dynamic model of a system.
• Identify how to create diagrams that represent a static model of a system.

Part 4: Patterns, Implementation and Construction

• Identify how to apply patterns to assign responsibilities to classes, CRC card design, and the benefits and design qualities of frameworks.
• Identify the interpretation of deployment diagrams, component diagrams, and their combination.
• Identify how to map designs with a programming language and the benefits of iterative and incremental development process.

Keimos Programming Courses

Our courses use simulations extensively to provide opportunities for students to learn & practice skills-based content. This “learning by doing'” model is far more effective than the traditional true/false, multiple choice approach. Live application software is not needed.

Interactive content is used often in the courses to engage the learner's attention, to reinforce and exercise skills being taught, and to provide feedback on the learner's grasp of a skill or concept.

How do I study a CD based course?

If you choose a CD course from Keimos, you'll have the benefit of Skill Builder learning software which identifies your learning needs before you start, ensuring that you don't waste time going over things you already know or moving too far ahead before you are ready. With audio and visual instructions, you progress at your own pace, completing self assessment at the end of each topic so you can measure your progress.
