Altova UModel 2005

Altova UModel 2005 is the starting point for successful software development. Visually design application models and generate Java code, or reverse engineer existing programs into UML┬« 2.0 diagrams then amend and fine tune your designs and complete the round trip by regenerating code. UModelÔäó 2005 takes the mystery out of modeling, making visual software design practical for programmers and project managers. It is the simple, cost-effective way to draw on UML.

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become recognized as the 21st-century standard for exposing and analyzing development project requirements and for designing more efficient software solutions. Despite its clear benefits, UML has not been universally adopted because many programming teams were wary of switching to an unfamiliar new technology that may have been perceived as elitist due to the relative high cost and complexity of earlier UML tools. Until recently UML has been positioned as a solution reserved for software architects, but project managers and developers coming from a code-writing background now have a UML tool that is easy to learn and use and is cost effective enough to implement throughout their organizations.
