Object-Oriented Analysis

About this course

Object Orientation (OO) is a methodology that is used for the whole software development life cycle: from analysis of users’ needs, to design and then coding and testing. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a standard set of diagrams for modelling your system using an OO approach.

The Object-Oriented Analysis course is ideal for analysts who work closely with OO developers. It will teach you how to analyse and document your system using OO principles and UML diagrams. It will help you to understand the problem and the solution better. You will also  be able to communicate more effectively with your developers.

This course is run in parallel with the first 3 days of the Object-Oriented Analysis & Design course. If you have programming experience, you will benefit more from attending the full 5 days.

Standard Bank of South Africa (SBSA) Lecturer: Lewis Classroom training
My objective was to change my mindset and this course definitely achieved that for me. Brilliant course.

L. Zimba

Denel Dynamics Lecturer: Lewis Classroom training
Well designed and executed course – thanks.

L. Brits

Parsec Lecturer: Lewis Classroom training
Very good course – made clear many aspects of UML Design that I was unclear on.

F. Fayard

Rand Merchant Bank Lecturer: Lewis Classroom training
Very good, entertaining and well presented.

A. Conyers

Reutech Communications Lecturer: Lewis Classroom training
Great course & lecturer. Had lots of fun & learned lots. Thanks

H. Botha

Discovery Lecturer: Lewis Classroom training
I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot. I will definitely apply what I have learned at work and hopefully get others interested to follow.

V. Ward

Clientele Lecturer: Lewis Classroom training
The course was well presented virtually given that it was done via Teams. Much appreciation on the usage of whiteboard. The irrigation controller system was a perfect case study. The techniques and skills shared will go a long just have to begin applying them on my daily activities. Lewis did a great job and showed high-level of professionalism to deliver the course within 3 days.
