Resumo:
This paper shows a process, or model, of software development based on UML, focusing
the practical use of UML diagrams. This process generates diagrams step by step so it
can change the development activities interconnected. The process’s name is Practical
Model to Software Development oriented to objects based on UML, or MPDS.
The MPDS is a modeling process presented through activities and diagrams (i.e., the
UML diagrams) and oriented to Use Case[40]. It allows in a clear and consistent way to
develop a system of medium duration from 6 to 12 months of continuous work, developed
by a team with no or little experience in software modeling.
The MPDS’s purpose is to allow a system that can be developed and maintained in a
consistent way and that the performed work can, as always as possible be used in new
projects. The models’ use as MPDS[3][22] can increase considerably the quality
associated with the speed in the systems development, making the small companies obtain
a high competitive level.
