Unified Modeling Language(UML)

what is UML?

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a diagramming language or notation to specify, visualise and document models of Object Oriented software systems. UML is not a development method, that means it does not tell you what to do first and what to do next or how to design your system, but it helps you to visualise your design and communicate with others. UML is controlled by the Object Management Group (OMG) and is the industry standard for graphically describing software.UML is designed for Object Orientated software design and has limited use for other programming paradigms.

  2. ruby-uml is able to generate textual representations of the gathered informations.
  3. These representations include a picture or dot-code that can be converted to images by their corresponding applications.
  4. At this time ruby-uml is able to generate sequences and class diagrams.
