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...
I try to research every pages about UML. There none of impact about UML.. anyone have this experienced before? what i mean is the standard of terminology and diagramming itself.. and the reason why uml so important for the success of the object oriented... ...
I've found this one: http://www.softwaretrainingtutorials.com/uml.php but that's not complete! ...
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 ...
My homework was to create a relational UML diagram about a discussion site. I used the SO schema, and I did some modifications: removed Age in the User Information added representatives, which allows users to categorise posts by their usernames (voluntary) Otherwise, the schema is rather similar, but rudimentary. How would you improv...
I have developed my homework from the post. Problem: to do posts similarly as in SO so that the first post is the question and the other posts are replies after the question. Question: How would you improve the interfaces? Would some simpler data structure make things easier? ...
Except for the context of UML,if A extends B,then B is a subset of A. But in UML, it's the opposite,say,if A extends B,then A is a subset of B, why is it so strange? ...
I have an Access db I wrote that I've used for my checkbook and budgeting for the last 3 years. I've never written a program before, but I've decided to write the db into a stand alone program. My only experience, besides the simple VBA in the db itself, is an Intro to C++ class and an OO Logic class. Even though I know what I want ...
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with UML (yet) and I don't know what validations are in place in the standard tools. But after reading this it seems validation is missing so I ask SO for advice. I want it to find stuff like logical inconsistencies disconnected parts (islands) unreachable parts (for example a state with only from transi...
The question is not the same as What’s the best way to generate a UML diagram from Python source code?, but the other way around. Topcoder UML tool automatically generates code in only Java or C#. Since I need to create a very depended data structure at a point, I am hesitant to turn to Java. I want to use Python. So: Is there an UML-...
I have a MyServer class that contains a Map whose keys are MyClientType objects and whose values are MyClient objects. I'd like to depict this relationship in a class diagram but I can't figure out a clean way to do that. ...
I'm starting with a web project and I would like to write its functionality and features on a "piece of paper" like professionals do. I have to prepare the documentation for the project with all information about the purpose and project overview, database structure, MVC and REST functionality (model, view, controller), website and wi...
Can you give me an UML example of a website or REST server. Thx! ...
My ERD is I use at the moment integer(2) to signal that the datatype is boolean because the program does not allow me to type boolean to the datatype -field. How can you have boolean as a datatype in the program VP-uml? [edit] The problem still persists. I see the following in my VP-uml: ...
I have had difficulties in finding a tool by which I could make a similar diagram as the following where aloitussivu = homepage yritysinfo = about yleiskuva = general tunnussivu = user rekisteröintisivu = register ... I use VP-UML. However, I have not managed to create such a diagram by it. The diagram looks like Activity diagram,...
Hey there, I started a personal Java WEB project and I'm trying to generate some documentation before I start off. I'm looking for some cool, flexible and free Diagram tool. Cool -> Shapes are colorful and could be used to be presented directly to a client. (Those line based- black/white are awful) Flexible -> I'm looking for somethi...
Hi, i´m coding in ABAP and implemented a template method pattern. I like to draw some UML class diagramm for this. To do this in UML for the classes is no problem. But my class is implemented in a function modul (SAP specific terms), its like an stand alone method which i use to make the implementation available to an Remote Procedure C...
I've found out about IDEF just yesterday and wondered immediately why it's not more popular than UML. Judging from documents, IDEF is at least as suitable for software modeling as UML is, but is mature and stable for about 30 years now, as opposed to UML. Is this one more case of "popular vs. powerful" like all the discussions about "$l...
Hi Guys, are there any good free native UML modelling tools for OS/X that allow you to quickly whip up simple UML diagrams. I know about ArgoUML, great for a java app (its usable), but certainly painful to use under OS/X wit the number of bugs and issues it has. ...
In a UML class diagram, what is the difference between an association relationship and a dependancy relationship? From what I know, an association is a stronger relationship than a dependancy, but I'm not sure how it is stronger. Any example would be more than welcome :) ...
