Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with UML Part 2: Analysis, State Diagrams and Activity Diagrams

This second course in the series focuses on analyzing and modeling system behavior. It describes how to create a conceptual model that identifies the concepts in a problem domain and how to model the system events that actors generate with system sequence diagrams. This course also introduces dynamic modeling with state and activity diagrams.

Duration: 8 hours Training Presented in: English

Audience

The targeted audiences for this course are System Administrators Application Developers System Analysts Software Engineers and Programmer/Analysts. Learners should be familiar with the concept of object orientation and have experience with application development. It would be helpful for learners to be familiar with distributed programming (multi-tier architecture) relational or object database programming transactions and component technology.

Objective

• Identify how to analyze requirements to develop interpret and evaluate a conceptual model.
• Identify how to analyze system behavior and represent interpret create and evaluate system diagrams and system operation contract documents.
• Identify how to represent interpret create and evaluate state and activity diagrams.

Topics Include

Unit 1: Conceptual Model

• Identify the set of valid candidate concepts that can be used for creating a meaningful conceptual model in a specific scenario.
• Identify the situations in which specification concepts can be applied.
• Select a diagram that correctly represents an association between the concepts for a specific situation.
• Match the relationship between concepts in a specific scenario with the categories of associations.
• Create a conceptual model to represent associations between the concepts for a specific scenario.
• Evaluate the conceptual model for its ability to represent associations between the concepts for a specific scenario.
• Select a diagram that accurately represents the attributes of concepts in a specific situation.
• Select the valid attributes necessary to fulfill the information requirements of a specific scenario.
• Create a conceptual model to represent the associations and attributes of concepts for a specific scenario.
• Evaluate the conceptual model for its ability to represent the associations and attributes for a specific scenario.
• Identify a diagram that accurately represents an associative type in the conceptual model of a specific scenario.
• Identify a diagram that accurately represents aggregation between concepts in the conceptual model of a specific scenario.
• Select a diagram that accurately represents the roles in associations and the roles as concepts in a specific scenario.

Unit 2: Analyzing System Behavior

• Identify the correct representation of a system sequence diagram.
• Identify the interpretation of the sections of a system sequence diagram.
• Create a system sequence diagram to represent a use case for a specific scenario.
• Evaluate a system sequence diagram for its ability to represent a use case for a specific scenario.
• Select the system operation contract that has the correct format.
• Identify the interpretation of the various sections of a system operation contract document based on the guidelines used to create it.
• Create a system operation contract to describe the behavior of a specific system.
• Evaluate a system operation contract for its ability to represent the behavior of a specific system.

Unit 3: Diagrams: State and Activity

• Identify the appropriate object that can be represented in a state diagram for a specific scenario.
• Identify the correct representation of a state diagram.
• Identify the interpretation of the sections of a state diagram that is used to represent events states transitions and guards.
• Create a state diagram to represent a specific scenario.
• Evaluate a state diagram that illustrates the events and states of an object in a specific scenario.
• Identify the correct representation of an activity diagram.
• Identify the interpretation of the sections of an activity diagram that represents a specific scenario.
• Create an activity diagram to represent a sequence of activities in a specific scenario.
• Evaluate an activity diagram that represents a sequence of activities in a specific scenario.
