UML 2 Toolkit / OMG Press Books (PDF)

Gain the skills to effectively plan software applications and
systems using the latest version of UML

UML 2 represents a significant update to the UML specification,
from providing more robust mechanisms for modeling workflow and
actions to making the modeling language more executable. Now in its
second edition, this bestselling book provides you with all the
tools you'll need for effective modeling with UML 2. The authors
get you up to speed by presenting an overview of UML and its main
features. You'll then learn how to apply UML to produce effective
diagrams as you progress through more advanced topics such as
use-case diagrams, classes and their relationships, dynamic
diagrams, system architecture, and extending UML. The authors take
you through the process of modeling with UML so that you can
successfully deliver a software product or information management
system.

With the help of numerous examples and an extensive case study,
this book teaches you how to:

* Organize, describe, assess, test, and realize use cases

* Gain substantial information about a system by using
classes

* Utilize activity diagrams, state machines, and interaction
diagrams to handle common issues
