The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system. UML offers a standard way to write a system’s blueprints, including conceptual things such as business processes and system functions as well as concrete things such as programming language statements, database schemas, and reusable software components [8]. Show
Historical BackgroundThe UML is based on earlier software design approaches, among them the Object Modeling Technique (OMT) [9], Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) [1], and Object-Oriented Software Engineering (OOSE) [6] and other important techniques [5]. The UML was standardized in various versions by the Object Modeling Group (OMG) [8]. Authors of the predecessor techniques have published a comprehensive description of the UML [10].

It's not a programming language — it's a set of rules specifically for drawing diagrams.
What are the four 4 kinds of things used in UML?Things. Structural things -- The nouns of UML models. These represent elements that are conceptual or physical. ... . Behavioral things -- Dynamic parts of UML models. The verbs which represent behavior over time and space. ... . Grouping things -- Organizational parts of UML. ... . Annotational things -- Explanatory parts of UML.. Where would you use UML or Unified Modeling Language?The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose, developmental modeling language in the field of software engineering that is intended to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system.
What are the three types of modeling in UML?Behavioral Modeling. Activity diagrams.. Interaction diagrams.. Use case diagrams.. |
