Rational Software Architect 6.x for Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Duration:   Five days
Audience Prerequisites

This course is built for software architects, designers and developers.

  • Developers
  • Designers
  • Architects
  • Consultants

Audience should have an understanding of software development.

Description
This course covers advanced aspects of object technology. The course teaches a variety of approaches to advanced issues important in real world applications. Particular attention is given to topics that improve the precision and quality of developed systems. The course shows how to use Rational Software Architect to document and aid the advanced design concepts.

The course covers a variety of techniques encountered in complex mission critical applications today and guides students through the best practices of complex system development. Particular attention is given to topics that present the most productive solutions and identify approaches that may cause deficiencies during the lifetime of the system. In addition, the course covers areas of object storage and retrieval, distributed systems, business rules and objects and introduces architecture for supportable systems. Emphasizing productivity and quality, the course concludes with pragmatic guidelines on how to incorporate testing and quality assurance into the development process of object-oriented systems.

At least 60% of the time will be devoted to labs.
Objectives

Upon completion, students will be able to:

  • Identify advanced concepts of object technology
  • Add precision to analysis and design models
  • Deploy design by contract and create highly reliable and reusable components
  • Use state modeling for describing behavior of complex systems
  • Decouple objects using a variety of techniques, improving on flexibility and maintainability
  • Deal with multiple inheritance correctly
  • Choose and implement connectivity to relational and OO databases
  • Select and design applications with distribution and component mechanisms
  • Apply business rules and select their implementation
  • Identify issues in construction of supportable and modifiable systems
  • Incorporate object-oriented testing and quality assurance as a pervasive activity
  • Use Rational Software Architect effectively to document, design, implement and convey design ideas
