VP-UML系统建模工具研究

随着面向对象技术的快速发展和应用,很多公司相继开发了支持面向对象技术的计算机辅助软件工程（Computer Aided Software Engineering,简称CASE）工具[1]。在大浪淘沙的技术进步大潮中,有些工具渐渐退出了历史舞台,并逐渐被人们所遗忘;但有些不断发展,并为人们所接受,从而被广泛使用。Visual Paradigm for UML（简称VP-UML）是一款功能强大、跨平台、使用便捷、直观的UML系统建模和CASE工具,它可以整合在其他CASE工具或者其他IDE工具中,这种“一站购物式”的软件解决方案要远远优于常规的Model-Code-Deploy的开发进程。本文讨论了VP-UML的基本功能和主要特点,为广大用户提供参考。

Research on System Modeling Tool about VP-UML

With the rapid development and application of object oriented technology,many companies have developed the object-oriented CASE tools.In the mighty wave crashing on a sandy shore of technological progress in the tide,some tools gradually withdrew from the stage of history,and gradually forgotten by the people;but some development,and accepted,which is widely used.Visual Paradigm for UML （VP-UML） is a powerful,cross platform,easy to use,intuitive UML system modeling and CASE tool,it can be integrated into other CASE tools or other IDE tools,this ＂one-stop shopping＂ software solutions to is far superior to the conventional Model-Code-Deploy development process.This paper discusses the basic function of VP-UML and the main features,and provide reference for the majority of users.
