This course is primarily concerned with modelling systems from a variety of perspectives. It requires delegates to construct three main types of model reflecting these individual perspectives and to describe the interactions between them. The method followed for modelling is based on a structured approach. Suitable for: Those who are likely to become involved in business analysis or systems development at any level, including: Business Analysts and Systems Analysts. Developers. Project Managers and Team Leaders. Quality Assurance and Quality Control Managers. Release Managers and Test Managers
About this course
There are no pre-requisites for the course.
Delegates can take an optional one-hour written examination at the end of the course. Successful candidates are awarded the ISEB Certificate in Systems Modelling Techniques.
