Description

IBM Rational Software Modeler Fundamentals provides students with a hands-on opportunity for learning how to capture an analysis and design model with the Unified Modeling Language® (UML 2.0) with IBM Rational Software Modeler (RSM). Starting with an overview of RSM, students will learn how to create, delete, and move model elements, draw relationships, review various tool configuration options and model structuring and organization guidelines. Students will create actors and use cases and place them on use case diagrams. Then the structure for capturing the design of a use case is created using use case realizations. The course then goes through how to build communication, sequence, and class diagrams for a use case realization. Modeling of state-driven behavior is covered through the use of state machine diagrams. Then students learn how to model subsystems and interfaces and their internal design using a subsystem interface realization. Most class time is used for students to do hands-on lab exercises following a step-by-step workbook.
