• Model event-driven state of business objects

Description

Business Analysis Modeling teaches fundamental techniques to apply the Unified Modeling Language (UML 2.0) to building a business analysis model for an enterprise. The course begins with an introduction to basic objectoriented principles and the UML. A “universal” process pattern is presented for modeling the behavior and structure of dynamic systems. UML collaborations are applied to capture the behavior and structure using communication, sequence, and class diagrams. This pattern is first applied to deriving an organization-independent analysis model from a business service model that is expressed with business use cases. Three different types of business objects are discussed when building this model: case workers, internal workers, and business entities. The course finishes with an introduction of how to apply state modeling to business entities. Students learn to apply the graphical notation for three UML diagrams – communication, class, and state machine diagrams. Onhands classroom experience allows for successful application of standardsbased modeling techniques.
