Course programme

"Everybody is going on about SOA, rushing into BPM tools and such, but the real focus should be on the development of basic services first, and then you will see real added value."

UML for SOA - 3 days

SOAD

The focus of any SOA initiative should be the development of highly cohesive and reusable services. Our service oriented analysis and design (SOAD) training gives a detailed overview of how UML and agile methodology can help you build services at the right level of granularity. We will focus on analysis and design of basic services which are considered mandatory for an SOA -after which more project-specific services are defined such as intermediate and process-centric services.

During this course, we also give a comprehensive insight into the importance of an architecture-first approach that allows the services to be put to the test as soon as possible, and possible risks retired early. You will learn the capabilities of an SOA maturity model, and you will gain insight into the added value of using advanced techniques such as service oriented development patterns and industry best practices.
