UML Training Course

Through the UML Fundamentals course, participants learn to apply the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to correctly specify, design, visualize, analyze, develop, and deploy object-oriented (OO) software systems.

Through completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Use UML diagrams to improve clarity of communication between different stakeholders
• Employ best practices of object-oriented analysis and design by specifying software requirements and design in UML
• Classify UML diagrams as static, dynamic, and implementation specific
• Identify and model key architectural and design concepts in UML
• Recognize the stage of development or problem scenario for which specific UML diagrams should be used
• Create and maintain a complete set of UML diagrams including: use-case, package, class, object, state, activity, sequence, collaboration, component, and deployment

The course is intended for software developers, software architects, software development managers, business managers, and other stakeholders who wish to update and further their skills in development of object-oriented software systems.

• Improving communication between different stakeholders through the use of a clear and precise language
• Raising the level of abstraction to models from source code by making modeling the first-class development activity
• Decreasing total development costs by assuring compliance with functional and non-functional requirements early in the development lifecycle where the cost of corrections is significantly lower.
