    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • Models are representations of reality to simplify it

    • Models help in solving problems and experimenting with multiple solutions

    • Models reduce development costs and time waste

    • Models allow for easier product development and resource allocation

    • Models provide a number of views of the system

    • Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual modeling language that helps system developers to create blueprints in a standard and easily understood form

    • UML captures system vision in a standard and easily understood form

    • UML gives a mechanism to effectively share and communicate system visions with others

    • The Object Management Group (OMG) defines UML as a graphical language for specifying, visualizing, constructing and documenting the artifacts of the software system

    • UML is a language, not a notation system, with a predefined structure and a repository for the different notations

    Features of UML

    • Syntax-only language to define model elements, usage, and diagrams
    • Comprehensive, able to model various systems
    • 13 diagrams, allowing different perspectives of the system; use cases not required
    • Language-independent, no binding to a particular high-level language, thus usable across tools or languages

    Need for UML

    • UML is a modeling language, not a notation system
    • UML has predefined structure and repository for different notations used, similar to a structured language like English
    • UML is process and method independent
    • Uses object-oriented techniques and iterative development lifecycles
    • UML is not difficult to learn in entirety; there's no need to know every detail

    UML is Not

    • UML is not a notation
    • UML is not owned by anyone
    • UML is not a process or method
    • UML is not complex to learn in entirety
    • UML is not limited to specific concepts, terms, and domains; it's flexible.

    Self-Study and Reading Suggestions

    • Provided with the book titles Unified Modeling Language User Guide and UML 2 For Dummies as learning resources.
