OMG® Certified UML Professional 2™ (OCUP 2™): Foundation

The OCUP 2 Foundation Level examination starts with a brief section on Why We Model, surveying many of the domains that use software modeling, the reasons they model, and the benefits they derive. The major portion of the examination tests the candidate's knowledge and skill in interpreting and constructing UML® Structural and Behavioral Models. Coverage is restricted to the three structural diagrams and four behavioral diagrams, and the UML model elements and attributes, listed in the Coverage Map on this page and the supplementary coverage map at the link two paragraphs below. 

Holders of the OCUP 2 Foundation Level Certification have demonstrated the knowledge and modeling skills needed to interpret UML models presented to them in their role as implementer or stakeholder of a project, or to be productive members of a team that builds or uses UML models in its analysis and design of a system (either new or existing) under study.
