What is Unified Model Language (UML) ?
The UML is the standard visual modeling language used to describe, specify, design, and document the structure and behavior of software systems, particularly Object Oriented
- UML can formally specify a system so that code can be generated
- UML can informally specify a system to enhance team communication
- UML can casually represent a system to enhance your understanding during implementation and maintenance
UML is not specific to one particular programming language, UML can be generated keeping C++ in mind and the same UML can be used to generate JAVA code. UML is a basic representation of your code logic.
UML consists of different diagrams:
Usually, UML diagrams are created using a software such a Umbrello and are of the extension.xmi
