The UML class diagram is the central part of the object-oriented system model and serves as a “bridge” between the information about the problem domain at the customer’s side and the software components at the developer’s side.

Examples of inconsistent UML class diagrams presented in previous research studies were used to validate the approach. The formal model obtained from UML class diagrams helped to uncover inconsistencies without any […]

For this reason, software developers need objective and valid measures for use in the evaluation and improvement of product quality from the initial stages of development. Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams are […]

Some tools have the ability to calculate design metrics from UML diagrams, but this activity can benefit from relying on Web services created with an open-source solutions to calculate the […]
