Unified Modeling Language (UML) tools are software applications designed to facilitate the creation and manipulation of UML diagrams. UML is a standardized modeling language used in software engineering for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software system.

Here are some popular UML tools:

  • Enterprise Architect is a comprehensive UML modeling tool that supports various diagram types and is widely used for software development, business process modeling, and system engineering.
  • Visual Paradigm provides a suite of tools for software development, including UML modeling, business process modeling, and system architecture design.
  • IBM Rational Software Architect is part of the IBM Rational software development platform. It supports UML modeling and is used for architectural design, modeling, and development of software applications.
  • Astah is a lightweight and user-friendly UML modeling tool that supports...
