UML is a standard method for documenting software development, created by the three amigos: Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson. Agile Modeling optimizes UML into an agile design framework, while Model Based Testing generates test cases from system requirements. Model-Driven Integration simplifies component integration.

Software development is a process that requires precise planning and forecasting. There are several techniques for documenting software development. Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standard method used to document the artifacts needed for software development.

UML is a collection of design best practices that have been used in the software development community for many years. The unified modeling language was first introduced in 1996 by the Object Management Group (OMG). The initial release of UML was created by a group of software development experts often referred to as the three amigos.

The three friends are Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh and Ivar Jacobson. They are considered the leaders and founders of the standard method unification project in 1996 which led to the creation of the Unified Modeling Language. This unifying effort took the best approaches for software design and development and created a reusable framework that could be easily understood.

The UML design approach uses graphical notations as a communication device for software projects and the user community. These graphical notations help the software development team explore potential projects and pitfalls. The unified modeling language is generally used as a template for designing a software application. This project explains how a software application will be created.

Agile Modeling (AM) is an example of a software design approach that uses UML. AM is a collection of practices and principles for software design. The UML process is often criticized for being burdensome for the development team, especially in the area of ​​document management. Agile Modeling attempts to take the necessary pieces of UML and optimize them into an agile design framework. Agile Modeling uses UML documents as design drafts rather than final designs or formal documents. This eliminates the need for regular updates of UML documents.

Model Based Testing (MBT) is a process in which testing is completed based on defined designs. These projects are built from the requirements of a system. The defined requirements are then used to generate test cases, which are written as test scripts. MBT artifacts can then generate the information needed to explain the expected state of a system.
One of the most complex processes within software development is component integration. Model-Driven Integration (MDI) is a process designed to simplify an application’s integration effort. Within MDI, a Unified Modeling Language project is created to represent the control of exchange paths in the software.
