UML course: UML for software development

Course description

uml courseIn this foundation UML course you will learn the basics of object-oriented modelling in UML (Unified Modelling Language) – the standard for designing information systems. In UML the different relationships between objects can be easily visualised. The use of UML will help you to develop better systems and apps thanks to a clear structure and architecture.

You will learn to model the behaviour of the application (behavioural diagrams) and the structure of the application (structural diagrams). In this UML training course you will also gain UML knowledge on how to model the flow of an application (how does the application work?) as well as the user interaction with the software (how does a user experience the software?).

Some of the UML benefits:

  • UML is a recognised industry standard which leads to easier onboarding of new team members
  • Clear and simple visualisation of the system/application
  • Increased maintainability of the software due to better understanding of the structure and operation of the software
  • Increased commitment of stakeholders and therefore increased acceptance
  • Easier integration and information exchange between information systems
  • Easier and uniform documentation.

The content of this UML training programme is based on the UML Foundation certification programme from OMG and provides a basic knowledge of UML.
