I am currently trying to draw a set of UML diagrams to represent products, offers, orders, deliveries and payments. These diagrams have probably been invented by a million developers before me. Are there any efforts to standardize the modeling of such common things? Or even the modeling of specific domains (for example car-manufactur...
I have a simple UML state diagram from which I would like to get the list of all the combinations possible. Does anybody know a program or algorithm who could do this for me? ...
...what's next? After you defined what actors do what actions, which way do you go? Do you model the database or do you prefer to start with the classes? I thought the better approach was to start with a class-like modelling diagram, to focus on relationships between objects. This has proven to be wrong because I went too deep in detai...

I'm looking for a diagramming program that can help in designing software, right from the high-level requirements down to the low-level classes and functions. I've seen a lot of UML programs, but they don't let you design at multiple levels of detail in the same map, like if you could "zoom in" and design the details of a part. Do prog...
I am in the process of designing system with a many tasks and a lot of inter-task messages. The system will be basically developed in C. In my design I am trying to use UML representation to show the messages that are passed between tasks. But it is becoming difficult to represent things like decision making etc. Are their any predefi...
Hi guys, I've been using agile development for one year and one of the big differences that I've noted in being agile was when designing the architecture for the system. In later projects we've used incremental methodologies such as RUP, and as you already know we've lost a lot of time creating UML models and later maintaining them. N...
I've been searching the internet a lot for UML modeling tools that support version control systems, like svn, but I haven't found anything about it. Does anyone know a good uml modeling tool, preferrably free, with version control support? ...
Hi Im a bit uncertain about the relation between the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the different modelling perspectives (conceptual, specification and impelementation) endorsed by (R)UP among other OOA/D methodologies. From what I understand the same type of diagram using the same notation can have different meaning depending on...
Let's say I am to build a behavioral model of some organization: in particular, I am to build a bunch of activity diagrams that describe all those activities that take place in the organization (activities like "bidding", "order fulfillment", "shipping", etc.). Now, one of the key activities in the organization is the one that includes ...
Hello! I had some questions regarding the structure and behavior of a model, using UML, and the relationship between the two : Did you find any limitations for UML regarding the specification or understanding of the relationship between structure and behavior? I was wondering if you have any practical ideas of how one can optimize the...
In Visio 2003 Architect version I can generate a SQL Server Database on the fly from UML ER diagram. But there is no such a way by using Visio 2007. My question is: Any other good and latest tools can support ER-> DB or DB->ER very well for SQL2005/2008? ...
In discussion about my answer to this question, there was some disagreement over how to model this code: public class MainClass { private Something something; public void Action() { OtherClass other = something.GetOtherClass(); } } The key points being: the Something class is an attribute in MainClass, sugge...
UML seems heavyweight and bloated to be effective. Teams waste time just trying to agree on the meanings of symbols and which flavor to use. ...
I work in a mid size company as a Senior dev and work on developing projects that are fairly large size (> 1 year at a minimum). Most of the architects here feel that creating UML diagrams does not justify the time involved (although we always have a ERD and some informal flowchart kinda diagram for all projects) I am looking to create ...
Hi, I've just stumbled into the job of analysing a project for one of my company's clients (an SMB). I am a .Net developer (5 years) with little experience in analysing software (UML from school). We've just finished two weeks of talking with the users and got a nice big list of requirements. Obviously we've filtered out the most impor...
