Applying Unified Modeling Language (UML) Training

Request this training

Unified Modeling Language (or UML for short) is a visual modeling language used in the modeling of software intensive systems. Visual modeling allows describing a system before it is implemented (or describing already implemented systems) in an easy to grasp mannar. Models facilitate general construction process in documenting what to be built in a mannar that can be communicated to various stakeholders. They also allow the verification of system design and architecture. Many modeling tools also allow code generation to minimizing coding time and errors.

UML is not a software development method or a process. It is a notation only. However, knowing only the notation is not sufficient to apply UML effectively. To receive the maximum from UML, one should understand how to use UML during different phases of the software development process.

The purpose of this training program is to introduce the modeling concepts, modeling language (UML) and also to investigate the effective use of UML during different phases of software development process.

Training objectives

At the end of the training, participants will be able to

  1. Create and understand UML diagrams (All of the 14 diagrams types as in UML 2).
  2. Use UML effectively in association with different phases of software development process (Business process modeling, Requirements, System analysis, System architecture and design).
  3. Understand how to translate UML models to code and vice-versa (as applicable to some diagram types).
Target groups
  1. Business Analysts, Software Architects, Software Designers, Software Engineers
Prerequisites
  1. General understanding about software development is expected.
  2. Knowing an object oriented programming language would be advantageous in fully understanding some of the UML diagrams.
Communication language
English or Sinhala
Duration

3 Days (~24 Hours)

Training fee

Rs. 15000/= (LKR) per participant when the training is publicly scheduled by us.
