UMP models and tools

UMP considers software modeling as an essential part of the software development. The project’s main deliverables are programs and models. The documentation should be written as the necessary and planned supplement to the programs and models. Read also project deliverables discussion >>.

The models used in the project should be defined in Software development plan. The best choice would be the models, which you and your team have successfully applied in your previous projects. Other options are:

Standard models
Proprietary models
UMP models

In any case it would be necessary to adapt the chosen models to the your project specifics. Customize and improve your models in parallel with the development.

UMP models

UMP uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for software modeling. The UMP models are the UML profile. Read details>>.
