Systems Analysis and Design: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

Achieving Future-Proof Software

 
Course: 322     Type: Hands-On Training     Duration: 4 Days

Quick Enroll    

You Will Learn How To
  • Analyze user requirements and design robust, change-tolerant software using UML
  • Select the right software architecture for your evolving business needs
  • Design a robust core of stored information for new or existing legacy requirements
  • Control complex behavior for effective decision making and user interaction
  • Adopt a development process that ensures robust database and Web-enabled systems
  • Achieve optimum quality systems through UML techniques and supporting CASE tools

Course Benefits
In today's rapidly moving business environment, competitive advantage is achieved through the speedy delivery of responsive software that can adapt to evolving technology and changing user expectations. Controlling and managing such software depends on three critical elements: standards, architecture and process. This comprehensive introduction provides you with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize these elements, delivering robust, future-proof software, particularly within database and Web-enabled environments.

Who Should Attend
Systems analysts, business analysts and anyone involved in managing, specifying or designing products for business intelligence, database, Web-enabled, knowledge management, or user interaction software.

Hands-On Training
Exercises and an evolving case study provide experience building "future-proof" software designs and include:
  • Deciding the best migration strategy for legacy systems
  • Establishing behavioral scope with UML use case diagrams
  • Refining information structure for database design
  • Describing control behavior with a UML state chart
  • Detailing control flow with UML activity diagrams
  • Expanding a UML class diagram to show structure of the user interface
  • Incorporating best practice into the software specification
