Introduction to Rational Rose

This course provides a hands-on introduction to the Rational Rose modeling tool. The course reinforces object-oriented modeling practices and UML notation concepts as participants are exposed to the modeling and code generation capabilities of the Rose tool.

Familiarity with object-oriented concepts is required. Some understanding of UML notation is recommended.

After completing this course, participants should be able to:

• Describe Rational Rose 2000, its features, and functionality
• Define and describe Rose conventions and terms
• Diagram use cases with Rose
• Discover and add classes to Rose
• Model class relationships
• Describe how to create sequence, collaboration, and state diagrams
• Generate and reverse engineer code

1 days

Instructor-led course, with practical computer-based exercises.
