This course presents the concepts, methods and techniques necessary to efficiently capture software requirements in use cases and transform them into detailed designs. It combines instruction on the Unified Software Development Process (UP), object-oriented methodologies and the Unified Modeling Language. In this course, students learn how to apply the UML notation in the context of an iterative, use case-driven, architecture-centric process. They are also exposed to an advanced CASE tool that allows the rapid development of UML diagrams and promotes an agile workflow by synchronizing changes in the various models and the code.
