Best Answer

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual language (graphical notation) for specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of (software) systems. It is a general-purpose modeling language that can be used with all major object and component software design methods, and that can be applied to all application domains (e.g., health, finance, telecom, aerospace) and implementation software platforms (e.g., J2EE, .NET).

Advantages of UML:

  • it provides most of diagram types (14 diagrams in UML 2.2) needed for object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD)
  • it is standardized (by OMG Group), not proprietary, supported by software industry
  • is explained and described in every aspect by vast amount of publications, resources, textbooks, etc.
  • it could be customized and extended for specific application domain, software process, or implementation platform.
