The Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML course effectively combines instruction on the software development processes, object-oriented technologies, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This instructor-led course uses lecture, group discussion, and facilitator-led activities (such as analyzing stakeholder interviews) to present one practical, complete, object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) roadmap from requirements gathering to system deployment. Students are provided a pragmatic approach to object-oriented (OO) software development using a widely adapted methodology (the Unified Process), the latest UML specification (version 1.4), and OO technologies, such as the Java™ programming language. This course progresses through: a primer on OO technology and software development methodologies, requirements gathering and analysis (including interviewing stakeholders), system architecture and design,  implementation, testing, and deployment. The classroom lectures expose students to other proven OOAD practices, such as class-responsibility- collaboration (CRC) analysis (used to discover the Domain entities) and Robustness analysis (used to move from analysis to design).
