The OCUP2 Foundation training is based on the latest version of UML – version 2.5 and is in line with the requirements for the new version of the OCUP2 Foundation exam (OMG-OCUP2-FOUND100), in which more emphasis is placed on a practical approach to modeling and the ability to use knowledge in practice.
The software development process begins with the creation of proper documentation. Success at this stage of creating IT solutions is the key to efficient work completed with the delivery of a solution in accordance with the client’s requirements. Knowledge and skills in using a commonly used modeling language is an opportunity for even better understanding between the participants of the software development process.
The training is dedicated to designers, software architects, business analysts, programmers, testers and other people participating in software development activities.
