3. What is UML? Unified Modeling Language (UML)
Supports modeling, analysis and design of object-oriented software systems
Includes several views
Each view describes a system from a different perspective
Each view is supported by one or more diagrams
Maintained by Object Management Group (OMG)

4. Modeling and Abstraction
Purpose of a model is to study some properties of the entity being modeled
Abstraction provides mechanism to concentrate on specific aspects of a system ignoring internal details
Together, abstract models enable designers to study the properties of a system ignoring internal details
UML provides the syntax, semantics and pragmatics to develop models at various levels of abstraction

5. Views of a Building

6. Views of a School Administration
Parents
Teachers
Students

7. Views in UML

8. Views supported by UML Use Case view
Describes high level functionalities of the system
Used by stakeholders, designers, developers and testers
Described by use case diagrams
The first view expected to be developed using the unified modeling process; it serves as the basis for other views

9. Views supported by UML (continued)
Logical view
Describes functionalities to be designed and to be implemented
Describes static and dynamic aspects of the system
Used by mostly designers and developers
Described by class diagrams, object diagrams, state diagrams, interaction and activity diagrams (dynamic view)

10. Views supported by UML (continued)
Process view
Describes various processes in the system
Mostly used by developers and testers
Described by state diagrams, interaction and activity diagrams
Supports concurrency and handling of asynchronous events

11. Views supported by UML (continued)
Deployment view
Describes physical architecture and assignment of components to architectural elements
Mostly used by designers, developers and managers
Described by package, component and deployment diagrams
