Uml 2 Bible Covers Version 1.4 & 2.0

The UML is an industry standard specification for modeling, visualizing, and documenting software projects. You can think of UML as the equivalent of blueprints in a manufacturing metaphor. By applying UML, developers can decrease the high-probability of failure that plagues large application development projects while improving quality. Extending the construction metaphor, the growing concept of executable UML is analogous to computer-aided-manufacturing settings where the blueprint for a product actually drives the machines Special Feature Up-to-date coverage including both the 1.4 and 2.0 UML specifications. Focuses on "executable UML" meaning the UML diagrams are the code, rather than viewing the diagrams as a necessary evil to complete before coding Covers testing of UML diagrams, rather than leaving all testing until the application is coded
