There are many popular professional diagramming tools like Visio available in the market. Depending on your need, sometimes you don’t really need commercial tools to generate UML diagrams.
Creating Use Case Diagrams
In the previous two articles, you saw a brief review of the nine UML diagrams and what kind of tools can be used to model UML diagrams. Now that you have the clear , you'll start to learn about the the nine UML diagrams. In this article, you'll explore the Use case diagram .Activity Diagram in UML
