- Unified Modeling Language - UML.
- A modeling language, not a method.
- Provides a graphical representation that allows developers and architects to model a software system before the system is ever built.
- Analogy - an architect creating a blueprint before a house or office building is ever built.
- The UML does not specify a methodology/process. Therefore, saying ``We use the UML methodology is incorrect.''
