Duration: 2 days – 14 hrs
Overview
This training course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to perform requirements analysis and documentation using an object-oriented approach. The course covers techniques and best practices for gathering, analyzing, and documenting requirements in a way that aligns with object-oriented principles. Participants will learn how to create UML diagrams and other object-oriented artifacts to ensure clear and effective requirements documentation.
