UML 1.3 has made a pair of changes concerning the use case relationships; one is to move include and extend that used to be stereotypes of the generalization into those of the dependency, and the other is to introduce a true generalization. A use-case generalization, however, is practically useless and therefore the changes are rather […]

The main reason enterprise system solutions become hard to understand, maintain is that development teams do not apply best practices in a disciplined way when they perform use cases realizations. A use cases realization describes in terms of collaborating objects how a particular use case is realized within the design model. Its goal is to

In this interview, Michael Blaha discusses the relationship between use cases gathering and database modeling. His opinion is that it is fine to capture requirements with use cases, but they should be dependend of the class model, which defines the domain of knolwedge that can be referenced by use cases. For database applications it is

This tutorial walks through typical Java modeling use cases and describe how Modelio, an open source modeling environment, can be used to to support a balanced and efficient model/code development approach and ensure the long-term utility of the UML model for Java developers. It demonstrates Modelio’s ability to automatically maintain consistency between the code and

This tutorial provides a quick introduction to the Unified Modeling Language. The purpose of this course is to present important highlights of the UML. The heart of object-oriented problem solving is the construction of a model. The model abstracts the essential details of the underlying problem from its usually complicated real world. Several modeling tools
