Agile Modeling with the UML

A Generic Approach to Reuse Unified Modeling Language Components Following an Agile Process

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is considered as one of the widespread modeling language standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG). Therefore, the model driving engineering (MDE) community attempts to provide reuse of UML diagrams, and do not construct it from scratch. The UML model appears according to a specific software development process. The existing method generation models focus...

Combining Agile Practices with UML and EJB: A Case Study in Agile Development

An agile methodology that integrates selected XP practices, UML modeling and Enterprise Java Beans is described. A case study in the domain of web-based systems is outlined, which applies and assesses the utility of the methodology. The applicability of agile modeling to the domain of webbased e-commerce systems implemented using Enterprise Java Beans is discussed.

An Agile Mda Approach for Executable Uml Structured Activities

Agile processes allow developers to construct, run and test executable models in short, incremental, iterative cycles. However, the agile development processes tend to minimize the modeling phase and the usage of UML models, because UML is a “unified” (too general) language with a lot of semantic variation points. The current version of UML together with its Action Semantics provide the foundat...

An Ontological Foundation for Agile Modeling with UML

Test Driven Development of UML Models with SMART Modeling System

We are developing a methodology of Test Driven Develop ment of Models TDDM based on an experimental UML modeling tool SMART Our experience shows that TDDM is quite useful for agile model developments SMART provides guidance how to build models based on compiler errors of testcases something similar to what Quick Fix of Eclipse does It also provides such guidance even from failures of testcases ...

SADT/IDEF0 for Augmenting UML, Agile and Usability Engineering Methods

Many experts state that: a) specifying "all the small parts of a system" and b) correct expected system usage, can make Agile Software Development more effective. Unified Modeling Method (UML) addresses the former; Usability Engineering addresses the later. Taken together, they create a systems de-velopment framework, capable of: a) specifying functions, data, behavior and usage, b) rapid proto...
