Book Description
Since the dawn of computing, software designers
and developers have searched for ways to describe the
systems they worked so hard to create.
Flowcharts enabled the concise documentation of
program-flow and algorithms. Entity-relationship diagrams
enabled database designers to convey the structure underlying
the collection of tables and columns that made up a schema.
From the beginning, technologists recognized the descriptive
power inherent in visual representations of a system, yet it
wasn't until 1997 that the first attempt to create a visual
language that could be used across all aspects of a system
development project came to fruition.
Unified Modeling Language (UML) was born. UML has taken
the software development industry by storm.
Widely supported by development and documentation tools,
UML can be used on the one hand by programmers to record
such things as the detailed design of classes in an
object-oriented system and on the other hand by business
analysts to give the broad-brush picture of how a system
interacts with users and other systems.
