Helping Software Engineers Reusing UML Class Diagrams

Authors

Abstract

Software development is a knowledge-intensive task, with an
increasing demand for higher productivity. During the design phase, the
use of visual modelling languages like UML (Unified Modeling Language)
are wide spread across the software industry. In this paper we present
a CBR tool that helps the software engineers to reuse UML diagrams.
We describe our system, REBUILDER UML, and present experimental
work showing that our system decreases the number of errors made by
software engineers during the design of UML diagrams.
