Originally developed for a leading California state
agency, this popular certificate program is now available to everyone. In
fourteen days of classroom training, this series of classes
covers approved tools and techniques to be used in the System Development Life
Cycle (SDLC) in both traditional and Object Oriented models. These classes are
technology neutral and are of great use to people working in any IT environment,
or to IT customers assisting in SDLC development and maintenance. These classes
use comprehensive workshops that build on concepts presented and emulate the
evolution of IT solutions in the real world.

Course
Descriptions
Module 1: Process
Modeling – 4 days
This course covers the basics of process modeling. Students
are taught both Data Flow Diagrams and Swim-lane modeling techniques that can
be used to model a System Implementation Model (HOW a system works based on
current or future technology) and a System Essential Model (WHAT are the
requirements defined by the stakeholders that set goals the system MUST meet). Hands-on
workshops in a JAD format are used to reinforce concepts.
Module 2: Data
Modeling – 3 days
This course presents the
terminology and basic concepts of data modeling and illustrates them using
Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD), Data Structure Diagrams (DSD) and Data
Model Diagrams (DMD). The entire data modeling process is presented, from
conceptual modeling, to normalization, to the logical data model. The course
finishes by presenting options for implementing the logical data model as a
relational database model. Hands-on workshops in a JAD format are used to
reinforce concepts.
Module 3: Requirements
Elicitation and Documentation – 2 days
This course presents a
methodology for creating and validating business requirements that accurately
and effectively reflect the essential activities of some portion of a
business. This course covers the
discovery, creation, documentation, and validation of functional and
nonfunctional business requirements. Hands-on workshops using a JAD format are
used to reinforce concepts.
Module 4: Designing Systems from Requirements – 2 days
This course
covers the creation of a new System Implementation Model (SIM) from the System
Essential Model (SEM) that was created during the earlier stages of structured
analysis. The three steps of structured design are defined and the various
views that make up the SIM are created and documented using physical data flow
diagrams, structure charts, pseudo-code, and data dictionary entries. Hands-on
workshops using a JAD format are used to reinforce concepts.
Module 5: Testing Architectures – 2 days
This course
presents an architecture that helps define a process to implement a structured
testing environment for all phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle
(SDLC). The course focuses on the four distinct techniques of structured
testing; independent creation, independent review, functional testing and
structural testing; each of which must be present in any quality assurance
program to ensure an absolute minimum of system problems. Using risk assessment
as a guide for structured testing is emphasized and a risk matrix is presented.
Hands-on workshops using a JAD format are used to reinforce concepts.
Module 6: Summary
and Graduation – 1 day
This module presents an integrated view of the information
presented in the previous modules, unifies the overall SDLC process and gives
students insight on how to adapt the tools and techniques covered in the
program into their own work environment.
