Summary: 

The starting point for this course is a set of requirements, as defined in the Systems Development Essentials course. It is primarily concerned with modelling systems using UML techniques. It requires delegates to construct four main types of model reflecting different perspectives and to describe the interactions between them.

PreRequisites: 

An understanding of the fundamentals of systems development, or attendance of QA-IQ's Systems Development Essentials course.

Those who need to model business systems using UML techniques Those wishing to attain the ISEB Certificate in Systems Modelling Techniques (UML). (These delegates should also book on course code SMTUEX-1). Candidates with special examination requirements should consult the ISEB web site (www.iseb.org.uk) for the ISEB Special Needs policy. Note that the ISEB must be advised at least four weeks in advance of any special requirements.

Objectives: 

On completion, delegates will be able to

  • Justify the need for modelling and modelling techniques
  • Explain why it is important to model system requirements from different perspectives and identify specific modelling techniques
  • Construct a static structure model (class diagram)
  • Construct a process model (activity diagram)
  • Construct a simple dynamic event driven model (statechart)
  • Construct a simple user interface model (user conceptual model, web site navigation model)
  • Evaluate how the various models reflect business objectives and system requirements (via critical success factors)
  • Appreciate how the various perspectives inter-relate to each other

The Need for Standard Techniques

  • Places business systems modelling in context within a project life-cycle
  • Types of model
  • Current and proposed business system modelling

Process Modelling using Activity Diagrams

  • UML Business Modelling Notation
  • Modelling business objectives, critical success factors and KPI's with the UML
  • Modelling the business process with activity diagrams
  • Swimlanes
  • Actions and activities
  • Send/receive events

Static Modelling of Data using Class models

  • UML structure modelling notation - class and object diagrams
  • Objects, Classes and Business Classes
  • Introduction to class modelling
  • Attributes and Associations
  • Traceability through CRUD
  • Object Flows on Activity Diagrams

Dynamic Behaviour Modelling using State Charts

  • UML statechart notation
  • Modelling events and states
  • Events, states and business rules
  • Events and Activity Diagrams

User Interface Modelling

  • UML Notations for UI Modelling
  • Navigation Modelling
  • Modelling Web applications

Reviews

  • Guidelines and approach for reviewing the models against the business objectives and system requirements for consistency and completeness
  • Use of Structured Walkthroughs for peer and business domain expert validation

Case Study

  • Throughout the course, a case study is used to reinforce and practise the topics discussed
