This course provides an in-depth review of Analysis and Design techniques. It addresses the topics of modern OO techniques versus techniques in use in legacy systems (DFD and Functional Analysis, amongst others) and shows how they complement one another. Core, common, topics such as Reuse and development within non-greenfield sites are thoroughly addressed.

Attendees of this course will receive a thorough grounding in a range of complementary design techniques enhancing their design skills and capabilities

• Relate the entire process of Requirements and Requirements capture with a total design process
• Enable designers to select the most appropriate design techniques for a task
• Demonstrate and contrast techniques such as DFD, OO, ER and Decision Tables
• Encourage the re-use concept from reuse of requirements through to code, implementation and test.
• Define various types of lifecycle model and how to select them
• Compare and contrast various types of distributed architectures
• Present non-relational Data-warehouse architecture and design as an instance of distributed design and standards benefits
• Present the Implementation and Maintenance lifecycles and explain their issues and priorities
  

• Management wanting to familiarize themselves with a suite of design technologies
• Technicians needing to address legacy as well as current systems
• Designers needing a full overview of available techniques
• Technicians wanting to see contrasting views of design techniques

• Some knowledge of software development issues
