A wide range of proven and tested patterns are readily accessible to everyone. Often, the task involves adapting the names and applying the pattern to a specific technology. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be devoted to design and testing. Training Objectives This course has two primary goals: first, it enables you to reuse well-known patterns; second, it empowers you to create and reuse patterns tailored to your organization. It helps you estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Style The course emphasizes use cases and their relationship with specific patterns. Most examples are explained in UML and simple Java examples (the language may vary if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns and shows you how to catalogue and describe patterns for reuse across your organization.
