Abuse of Unified Modeling Language Diagrams in Software Development (original) (raw)

_______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose visual modeling language for specifying software-intensive systems. More precisely, it is a graphical language for visualizing, specifying, constructing and documenting the artifacts of software-intensive systems. UML is a key enabling technology for Software Developers and Software Engineers who seek to transition from traditional, human-intensive, code-centric software development processes to Model-Driven Development (MDD) processes that are requirements-driven and architecture-centric. However, Due to the lack of skills by developers and general purpose nature of UML diagrams, many developers abuse it by drawing diagrams that did not match particular activities or scenarios in the software project. This study makes a review of how UML is abuse and also makes a simple representation of UML diagrams.
