The Unified Modelling Language has become one of the industry standard notations for the analysis and design of IT systems. This course introduces the UML 2.0 and its application to modern software development processes. Participants receive a solid grounding in OO technology and are then taken through the software development cycle using the UML and addressing essential elements such as Testing and Database design. The use of the UML in forming a basis for Requirements Gathering through to Testing, Acceptance and Delivery is emphasized, enabling participants to deliver high-quality surprise-free systems. All exercises come with worked solutions and delegates receive a copy of "UML Distilled" by Martin Fowler
