本身是抱着检验和印证自己理解知识的态度来考。不像自己以前所获得的那些认证一样有着这样那样的想法和客观限制;因此,考试目的不同决定了自己的准备方式、心态、以及考试安排的不同。从新版本的RUP发布以来一直在关注相关的信息,阅读相关的资料,一开始并不是要考认证的,纯粹个人需要不断更新和充电;也没有什么特意的学习安排,就是有时间就读相关的东西,有时间就用RMC设计一些process;之后系统的学习了一些相关资料;最后在预约考试的时候把时间定在了假期旅游回来的间歇,带着一种放松的心态和检验校准知识理解的态度通过了考试(当然,是要交考试费的:—)。
由于自己有老版本RUP的认证、知识基础和实践,因此 查阅和学习的时候重点放在差异化的部分,主要是看看有什么新东西,过去的概念有什么变化,在实践中的理解有什么更新等等。最后把整个知识体系系统的过了一下。
RUP v7依然顺承了很多RUP原有的东西,新体系更注重Business-driven,对一些核心概念进行了重构和升华,增补了一些东西,当然,个人感觉最亮的亮点当数RMC工具;当然针对于认证本身来说还是非常接近于IBM官方对于测试重点的描述,重点为如下五大部分:
