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.

What others say

Why you want to attend

You should attend the Object-Oriented Analysis course if:

• You are a business analyst, project manager or system architect, and you work with developers who use object orientation.
• You need to learn how to read and write use cases.
• You need to understand the object-oriented process.

What you need to know first

You do not need to have any knowledge of object orientation or programming before attending the Object-Oriented Analysis course. You should, however, have some experience working with systems and analysing user requirements.
