Senior Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/3/2019 "state of the art UML diagram coding " 5/5 What do you like best about StarUML? Writing a code to create a diagram is a need for creating a complex diagrams,in my opinion and Star UML is the best way to do it. you create a class in your diagram by writing a simple line of code like this: expression ::= ['\<\<' stereotype `\>\>`] ClassName then you can add attributes to it as simple as this: attribute ::= ['\<\<' stereotype `\>\>`] name [':' type] ['[' multiplicity ']' ] ['=' defaut-value] and you can add relations between class by the following line : expression ::= ['\<\<' stereotype `\>\>`] [visibility] name that is all . you can create the most complex diagrams by learning just those 3 simple definitions,so the learning curve of StarUML is very short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StarUML?

It is a very useful tool to make many diagrams.

It has a very complete tool panel that facilitates the making of the diagrams. It is also free software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StarUML? Although it is a very complete tool for making diagrams, it has some drawbacks such as for example that is not compatible with export of diagrams in SVG format. It does not have a Linux version, it only has a Linux version, so it's another great handicap. Also, you do not have the possibility to reverse engineer for PHP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StarUML solving and how is that benefiting you? During my career and even during the work that I currently have been a tool that has helped me a lot for the subject of documentation. Since it allows to realize in a fast and simple way the diagrams. It would be interesting to incorporate their version in Linux to reach more people. In addition to incorporating more support to programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
