Object Oriented Analysis and Design with UML is one of a number of
online courses from The University of Manchester. These distance
courses are delivered in a Virtual Learning Environment, which allows us
to extend the classroom into the web. Each course, which is paced to
suit those in full-time employment, runs over 16 teaching weeks.
This course teaches essential skills in object-oriented analysis and
design and the Universal Modelling Language. It is independent of
particular software packages or programming languages, although there
are a few small Java code examples. The only prerequisite is some
familiarity with programming, not necessarily in an object-oriented
language.
Objectives:
After successful completion of the module, a participant will
* understand how to design software in an object-oriented manner
* have mastered UML as a notation to support this design
* have undertaken an OO design in UML as part of a team-work exercise
Course Outline:
The course starts with a thorough introduction to object concepts,
before explaining business modelling ("what do the customers need?"),
analysis ("what must the software do?") and design ("how will it do
it?"). Aspects of design covered include system and subsystem design and
semi-formal specification of software responsibilities. No particular
software development process is prescribed, but the approach taken is
consistent with current best practice, in particular, the Rational
Unified Process (RUP).
