What Practitioners Are Saying About the Unified Modeling Language
Abstract
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was formally introduced in the late 1990s, with much of it based on earlier object-oriented systems analysis and design (OOAD) methods. The UML quickly became the language of choice for modeling object-oriented systems and there are now numerous books, many written by practitioners, which describe the UML and suggest approaches for using it. The UML has continued to evolve, notably with the release of UML 2.0, driven largely by a “best practices” approach. This paper offers qualitative evidence of the broad scope of practitioner views on the UML in the form of comments from by UML practitioners in response to a survey on UML usage patterns. The range of comments suggests some interesting directions for future research.
