Object Oriented Analysis & Design
Course Code: OOAD
Duration: 3 days
Object Oriented Analysis & Design Course Overview
The Object Oriented Analysis & Design course focuses on the fundamental concepts of Object Orientation and UML as part of the Software Development Life Cycle. The course focuses on the core activities and artifacts of Object Orientation and UML when used with various methodologies including XP, Agile and Unified Process. UML 2 notation is used throughout the course.
This hands-on course shows delegates how to analyse and design models of software systems to enable them to develop quality software that meets the requirements of Stakeholders. Delegates will learn how to follow a system through the OO Analysis and Design phases and build models and artifacts to validate and elaborate the design.
UML Modelling Tools are available in the classroom to give delegates experience of using these tools to document analysis and design models.
A Case Study, exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course delegates should be able to:
- Explain OO Analysis and Design
- Describe the main processes and artifacts of OO Analysis and Design
- Identify and Analyse Requirements
- Model System Functionality with Use Cases
- Find and Organise Analysis Classes
- Create System Domain Models
- Validate Use Case Models with Stakeholders
- Create Activity Diagrams to describe System Behaviour
- Model Object Relationships
- Understand and apply Generalisation and Inheritance
- Design Object Behaviour
- Realise System Design
- Create Deployment Models
Who will the Course Benefit?
The Object Oriented Analysis & Design course is aimed at staff and consultants working as part of a development team using OO techniques to develop quality software including Business and System Analysts, Solution Architects, Programmers, Designers, Subject Matter Experts, Project Managers and anyone who needs a good understanding of the use of Object Oriented Analysis and Design within software development.
This course is particularly beneficial for those using Object Oriented development languages such as Java, Python, C++, Visual Basic and Ruby.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:
- Gathering and documenting Requirements
- Documenting Requirements with Use Cases
- Detailing Use Case Flows
- Designing and Testing Activity Diagrams
- Identifying Analysis Classes
- Building Class Models
- Modelling Relationships between Classes
- Identifying and Building Generalisation Hierarchies
- Designing Abstract Classes, Interfaces and Inheritance

Course Requirements
Delegates attending this course should have a basic understanding of programming in an object-oriented language such as Java, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc. Delegates should understand the concepts of classes, attributes and operations. This knowledge can be obtained by attendance on the pre-requisite Introduction to Programming course.

Course Reviews
I enjoyed the tuition and thought the course was a good basis for gaining a better understanding of data modelling and analysis. Being sent on the course by my employer despite having done the same tuition at university.
