Opleiding: UML Overview

UML Intro

After an introduction to the UML specification and the meaning of UML as a meta language, the courses addresses Structural Modeling and the diagrams used like class and object diagrams, component and deployment diagrams.

Class Diagrams

Also domain modeling and the modeling of possible relationships between classes are discussed like inheritance, associations, aggregations, compositions and dependencies.

Use Case Diagrams

Next attention is paid to Use Case Modeling, the Use Case Diagram, the role of actors and the accurate description of the interaction steps.

Sequence Diagrams

The next subject is Dynamic Behavior Modeling where interaction diagrams like sequence diagrams and collaboration diagrams are discussed.

State Diagrams

The modeling of system states using state chart diagrams, the difference between passive and active objects and the role of threads is also part of the subject matter. There is also attention for the role of activity diagrams in which concepts such as control and data flow and swim lanes are discussed.

Subsystems en Stereotypes

Finally a number of advanced concepts such as the UML modeling of packages and subsystems and the use of stereotypes, constraints and tagged values are part of the program.

Audience Course UML Overview

The course UML Overview is intended for developers, designers, architects, managers and other interested persons who want to get an overview of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) standard for modeling systems.

Prerequisites Course UML Overview

Knowledge of and experience with system development and object orientation is beneficial to a good understanding but not strictly required.

Realization Training UML Overview

The theory is treated on the basis of presentation slides and is interspersed with exercises. UML models are used as demonstration of the concepts. The course material is in English. The course times are from 9.30 up and to 16.30.

Certification UML

Participants receive an official certificate UML Overview after successful completion of the course.
