UML Diagrams Generator: A New CASE Tool to Construct the Use-Case
and Class Diagrams from an Event Table
Problem statement: Building UML diagrams
is a very important and time consuming task for both requirements
and design phases. However, some of these diagrams, such as use-case
and class diagrams can be considered as a transition between the two
phases. Approach: Through this study, the event table will be
used to derive the use-case and class diagrams. Results: A
new CASE tool to automate the proposed approach will be introduced,
that is, the UML diagrams generator (UMLdg). Conclusion: It
is clearly noted that the proposed CASE tool (UMLdg) gives an ideal
and reasonable methodology to construct the intended use-case and
class diagrams from any comprehensive event table. Furthermore, this
tool will save the time for the building process of such diagrams. |
