StudentUML: An Educational Tool Supporting Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is commonly used in Computer Science curriculum in order to teach object oriented analysis, design and programming. In this context, UML CASE tools are useful to assist in modeling and automating routine tasks. However, available tools are generally intended for use by professional developers to improve productivity and are not suitable for educational purposes. Tools are generally difficult to learn and use, are confusing to beginners, and ignore educational aspects. Existing educational tools also have shortcomings, which are discussed in detail. Finally, we present a new UML tool, StudentUML, which specifically addresses these issues. Emphasis is placed on the educational nature, simplicity, and ability of the tool to ensure correctness and consistency of the models.

Evaluation of StudentUML: an Educational Tool for Consistent Modelling with UML
Several CS courses adopt UML (Unified Modelling Language) in order to teach objectoriented analysis and design techniques. It is acknowledged that appropriate UML modelling tools have to be used in conjunction with the taught material so that students get hands-on experience with the tools and the practices of the trade. Professional UML tools tend to be too complex and lack educational feature...
متن کاملObjects Identification in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey on Techniques
Analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. Identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. The f...
متن کاملOn Attributes of Objects in Object-Oriented Software Analysis
One of the modern paradigms to develop a system is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. There is a sequence of activities to develop an analysis model. In the first step, we work in developing an initial use case model. Then in the second step, they identify a number of concepts and build a glossary of partic...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملShift on Education through Thematic Modeling under Object Oriented
− Informatics knowledge domain has been played two different, and important, roles on Education, especially on globalization context. The first and obvious one has been as a techno tool. The second role has been as a theoretical tool, supporting knowledge modeling, through software engineering development systems. This papers enhances this second informatics role. An overlook on civilization pa...
