The UML (Unified Modeling Language) is considered to be most widely accepted in software industry. In this paper, we provide empirical findings from a created a web survey designed for UML users on the utility of UML amongst fifty one professional software engineers using Object Oriented Analysis and Design. During survey various aspects were considered which include standards and procedures maintained, design and implementation of a System and effectiveness of measures used during software development. There is lot of variation in UML usage. In general the use of UML has a positive effect on the quality of the system, that is, it reduces defect during software development.

Abstract


The UML (Unified Modeling Language) is considered to be most widely accepted in software industry. In this paper, we provide empirical findings from a created a web survey designed for UML users on the utility of UML amongst fifty one professional software engineers using Object Oriented Analysis and Design. During survey various aspects were considered which include standards and procedures maintained, design and implementation of a System and effectiveness of measures used during software development. There is lot of variation in UML usage. In general the use of UML has a positive effect on the quality of the system, that is, it reduces defect during software development.
