UModel - UML tool for software modeling and application development


UML Software Modeling
Altova UModel® 2013 combines a rich visual interface with superior usability features to help level the UML learning curve, yet it also includes high-end functionality to empower users with the advantages of UML software development. UModel® 2013 supports all 14 UML 2.4 software architecture diagram types, plus a UML diagram for XML Schemas, and another to model tables in popular SQL databases – giving your development team a powerful tool for today's project challenges.
UML Code Engineering
UModel® 2013 includes the code engineering functionality for real-world application development: generate code in Java, C#, and Visual Basic .NET, reverse engineer existing Java, C#, and Visual Basic .NET code or binary files to create UML models, and synchronize changes between code and model at any time and in either direction with round-trip engineering.
Business Process Modeling
Whether you need a stand-alone BPMN tool for business analysts, or want to incorporate documentation of business rules into a software development project, UModel empowers you to diagram a wide range of private (internal) and public business activities. UModel supports BPMN 1.0 and 2.0 Business Process diagrams, BPMN 2.0 Choreography diagrams and Collaboration diagrams, and enables model exchange with other BPMN tools through the XMI specification.
Teamwork Support
The benefits of UML software modeling multiply when more developers work on a project. UModel® 2013 includes features to assist teams working together such as sub-projects, shared packages, source control support, automated generation of project documentation, integration with Visual Studio and Eclipse, and an API that enables automation of repeated actions.

Project requirements:
Use case diagrams are often considered separately from other software architecture diagrams because they capture project requirements and can define the scope of an application under development.
