2SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Introduction:
The object oriented software projects or the OO software projects are typical software
models that are organized around the objects (Dennis, Wixom and Tegarden 2015). The
object oriented design process is the method of supporting the object oriented paradigm. The
main aim of using this process is dividing the object oriented projects into manageable
portions which are considered as the classes of programming. Like the classes, another
important aspect of object oriented software design is the unified modeling language. The
UML is used both for the non-software and the software system (Petre 2013) and for the non-
software systems the importance of the UML is the modeling of the OO software
applications.
In this magazine article, a short description of the unified modelling language will be
discussed. Following that, the main importance of the unified modeling language in the
development of object oriented software projects will be discussed in this article.
Importance of UML to the success of OO software projects:
The main aim of the unified modeling language is providing the standard type of
notations. This notation can be used by every method of the object oriented (Kalinowski et
al. 2014). Also, this notations can be used for integrating best precursor notation elements.
The design of the UML supports a wide range of applications. Thus it holds major
importance in the development of the wide range of activities and systems like the distributed
systems. The first noticeable thing is that the UML uses various different type of diagrams in
the object oriented software development project. The main reason behind using various
types of diagrams is that a system can be viewed from the different type of viewpoints.
The UML of the unified modeling language is a standardised type of modeling
language which consists of some specific set of diagrams (Rumbaugh, Booch and Jacobson
