Course Description

Current trends in development processes emphasise agility and responsive design over bureaucracy and big up-front design. At a high-level the (Rational) Unified Process (RUP) provides a suitable approach for agile development when taken together with a number of complementary practices such as Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Scrum. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is the industry standard notation for describing object-oriented systems. The notation includes a number of diagram types that can be applied to many development activities. RUP provides a common framework intended for UML-based development processes, both heavy and light. It outlines four basic phases in a lifecycle: inception, elaboration, construction and transition. The Total Development Workshop in Java course introduces a useful subset of the core modelling notation in UML and follows the first three RUP phases in its structure, with TDD forming the backbone of the construction phase. Groups of course attendees frame requirements and high level designs which they then take through to code and tests, over four construction mini-iterations. The workshop balances taught material with practice, introducing sufficient modelling notation, use case techniques, testing practices and refactorings as necessary. This workshop structure allows course attendees to see and understand how all the activities fit together in practice, consolidating concepts that are often taught theoretically and separately.
 
Target Student:
The course is suitable for software developers with Java experience who wish to combine their existing programming skills with techniques and tools for agile development.
Prerequisites:
  • Any previous experience with UML, patterns and agile development is an advantage but not a requirement.
Delivery Method: Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.
The training course combines lectures with practical exercises that help the delegates to put what they have learned on the training course into practice. The exercises specifically build on what has been recently taught and are built up as the training course progresses.
 
Performance-Based Objectives
At the end of this training course, students should be able to:
  • Outline an agile development lifecycle based on RUP phases and Scrum iterations
  • Present a useful working subset of UML notation, highlighting common techniques and pitfalls
  • Describe test-driven and continuous design practices
  • Learn to write use cases and estimate and plan against them
  • Put the concepts into practice following the development lifecycle for a simple project
