Modelling with UML
Creating an Architectural Design: Data design: Data design at the Architectural level

& component level, Architectural Design: Representing the system in Context,
Defining Archetypes, Refining the Architecture into components, Describing

installations of the system.

7 Testing Strategies: - Testing strategies for conventional software, test strategies for

object- oriented software, validation testing, system testing.
