Potential of Unified Modelling Language usage for IS description and its application on a case study
Šindelářová, Šárka ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Vratný, Petr (referee)
This paper deals with the possible uses of the UML language as a tool for analysis, design and information systems implementation which is being used by people involved in the process of information systems development. The main goal of this work is to become acquainted with practical methods of using the UML language whereas one of the possible ways will be applied to the "ProBodyShop" case study. Namely, the method is applied to the stage of creating the detailed analysis. Another goal of this paper is to summarize the principles, history, and the elements of the UML language and to introduce the existing UML diagrams and CASE tools necessary for the modeling. Last but not least, in the case study I will demonstrate the decision-making of the information system analyst when creating the detailed analysis. These goals have been achieved by studying the available specialized publications, passing the OMG certified UML course and exam, and thanks to the experience gained during the development of information systems and especially by actively consulting the case study with the submitter. The main benefit of this paper is the creation of basic analytical foundation for development and testing in the first implementation phase of the "ProBodyShop" project and the example of a possible way for the analyst to deal with the detailed analysis. The theoretical part of this work discusses the UML language principles and history, including the main characteristics and development of the UML language. Another part aims at modeling in the UML 2, which represents different views at the system model, the diagrams and the necessary modeling tools. The practical part, which is the detailed analysis of the "ProBodyShop" project, is based on the requirements of the submitter and on theoretical knowledge. This part consists of the introduction to the problem, selection of the proper CASE tool and the process of creating the UML diagrams.
