Software Systems - Course Module

Duration

Half a day to a full day.

Prerequisites

An Introduction to UML (or equivalent level of competence).

Outline

One of the more traditional applications of the UML, this module shows how the UML can be applied over a complete life cycle for a simple project. This module may be tailored for any specific life cycle model and the use of diagrams is discussed at each phase. The step from diagrams to code is covered with a discussion on code generation and language mapping. An optional workshop finishes off this module.
