ITC508 Object Modelling (8)

In this subject, students will develop knowledge and skills in the use of object-oriented analysis and design techniques, and in the development of various object oriented artefacts. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), object oriented analysis, modelling and design, and creation of diagrams are covered using Unified Modelling Language (UML) notation.
