Following an introduction to the concepts, structure, contents, and motivation of the Unified Process, this course provides a solid foundation in managing projects that is based on this process. Students acquire an understanding of the Project Manager's responsibilities and practical experience of project management activities in order to play that role successfully.

The Unified Process is a disciplined approach to assigning and managing tasks and responsibilities in a development organization. The goal of this process is to produce, within a predictable schedule and budget, high-quality software that meets the needs of its end users.

This course introduces students to the basics of object-oriented development using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and teaches how to create an object-oriented analysis model.

First, concepts such as abstraction, polymorphism, and encapsulation are presented and students learn what classes and objects are and how they can be used to build software. Then students learn to step into analysis and build a simplified version of a design model that is created independently from any development environment (C++, Java TM, .Net, etc). Class lessons show students how to identify classes that carry out use-case behaviour, how to construct use-case realizations, and how to use architectural artefacts to help constrain their design.

Length: 2 days

The purpose of this course is to introduce students on how to optimize a design model for a specific development environment. The course addresses some advanced design topics such as architectural issues, patterns, implementation mechanisms, and tips on optimizing the design model.

Length: 2 days

This course presents a use case-driven approach to the development of software architecture. It addresses architectural considerations that influence the organization and the key mechanisms of a software system and their presentation as architectural views using the UML.

Building flexible information systems that meet the business requirements and allow short product release cycles is a challenge for many organizations. Despite the fact that many projects do near identical things, these projects are still a little bit like black magic. This course provides a collection of patterns that helps explain the basic forces and solutions for the design of information systems that are aligned with the core business model of organizations.

Length: 2 days

This course introduces students to the general concept of component, the specific concept of business component and the different categories of business components. It shows them how to identify business components from business models, distribute business components according to a specific architecture, integrate business components to create applications, and describe the roles and responsibilities associated to component-based development.

C# Programming

This course provides different techniques for deriving test cases from use cases. It shows techniques for validating each path and data by extrapolating the results on a matrix (positive and negative method). It also shows how to use the sequence diagram to define and capture some of the backend data or hidden flow to make sure every possible test case is identified, along with user-scenario and storyboard.

Length: 1 day

This course is tailored for testing professionals to help them get familiar with the basis of automated testing tools. Among other things, this course allows students to get an appreciation for the power of automated testing through testing scripts and sophisticated testing suites, the generation of personalized reports and the management of anomalies in the context of a complete quality assurance process.

The students learn to define test requirements, test plans, test types, follow-up of test execution, and follow-up of anomalies. At the end of the course, the student has the necessary skills to plan a testing effort (including manual and automated tests).
