Modelo prático para desenvolvimento de sistemas orientado a objeto baseado na UML

Abstract

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.
