Product Description

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is an evolutionary general-purpose, tool-supported, and industry-standardized (OMG) modeling language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a system-intensive process. "Guide to Applying the UML" offers a practical bridge between tutorials and reference works, demonstrating how all of the elements of the UML fit together holistically and cohesively. It closes the gap between the UML and process using a "roadmap" that addresses the key decision points and their relationships, providing a comprehensive framework. The focus is on rules of usage and principles of composition, style guidelines, practical real-world examples, and a tool-, process-, and technology-independent roadmap for effectively and successfully applying the UML.

Topics and features:

* Essential rules for using the UML and composing UML models are collated around important UML constructs

*Presents a broad introduction to applying the UML, without having to prematurely adopt a particular process

*Provides detailed examples, enabling readers to make informed decisions when modeling across the system development life cycle

*Demonstrates how UML elements are related and how the UML supports traceability and scales for the life cycle process

*Clear, well-developed diagrams simplify learning and applying core concepts and techniques

With its focused, yet highly accessible approach, this guide strikes an integrated balance between UML rules and practices. It is an authoritative and comprehensive reference for software practitioners and professionals involved in the design, development, and management of UML-related software projects.

Useful memorizing technique for UML vocabulary
Reading this book would probably require some effort. At the end of the reading process you will be able to write state-of-the-art UML diagrams to impress your customers. Also you will learn some idiomatic phrases like
"a use-case-driven, architecture-centric, iterative and incremental, and risk-confronting effort that is object oriented and component based". Such phrases are repeated throughout the text. Apart from the language of the book I must say that it has given me a lot of insights into the unification of various UML constructs and I give it 5 stars because of that.
