Introduction to Unified Modeling Language (UML)

What is UML?

• Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standardized, general-purpose modeling language in the field of software engineering.

• Developed to provide a common visual representation of the design and architecture of a system.

• Widely used in software development to create visual models of software systems, helping to understand, design, and document complex systems.

Key Concepts:

1. Visual Modeling:

   • UML uses visual notations to represent the various aspects of a software system.

2. Standardization:

   • Maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG).
   • Standardized notation ensures consistency and facilitates communication among team members.

3. Abstraction:

   • Allows developers to focus on high-level concepts without getting into implementation details.
