This article compares UML tools. UML tools are software applications which support some functions of the Unified Modeling Language.
Code generation Code generation in this context means that the user creates UML diagrams, which have some connected model data, and the UML tool derives from the diagrams part or all of the source code for the software system.
The unified modeling language (UML) is a general-purpose visual modeling language that is intended to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system. [1] UML provides a standard notation for many types of diagrams which can be roughly divided into three main groups: behavior diagrams, interaction diagrams, and structure diagrams.
StarUML is a software modeling tool that supports UML and MDA. It can create diagrams, generate code, and reverse engineer existing systems.
UML class and sequence diagram A sample UML class and sequence diagram for the builder design pattern. [4] In the above UML class diagram, the Director class doesn't create and assemble the ProductA1 and ProductB1 objects directly.
Code generation and reverse engineering BOUML can automatically generate code from the UML class diagrams and rebuild them from existing source code using the following languages: C++, Java, PHP, and MYSQL. [6] It can also generate code for Python and IDL, but not extract the UML model for these languages. [6]
PlantUML uses well-formed and human-readable code to render the diagrams. There are other text formats for UML modelling, but PlantUML supports many diagram types, and does not need an explicit layout, though it is possible to tweak the diagrams if necessary.
Applications of UML. UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a modeling language used by software developers. [1] UML can be used to develop diagrams and provide users (programmers) with ready-to-use, expressive modeling examples. [note 1] Some UML tools generate program language code from UML. [2] UML can be used for modeling a system independent ...
