Design and development of Online UML Editor and Analyser

Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a visual modelling language used by software engineers to visualise, design and document the development processes of a software system in the forms of diagrams. These diagrams allow software engineers to foresee any obstacles that could prevent them from achieving their project objectives. Also, as it is essential for software engineers to engage in proper planning before developing a software system, designed diagrams must adhere to the guidelines of the UML diagram so that there shall not be any confusion between engineers. The aim of this project was to develop an online UML Diagram editor and analyser for the Component Diagram. The editor covers Specification, Composition and Decomposition Diagram. Each of these diagrams will have a unique set of shapes, connectors and rules assigned. By translating these diagrams into Extensible Markup Language (XML), an analyser can be developed to perform validation and reflect potential errors in the diagram. The project was completed in two phases. The first phase focused on developing the online editor for the diagram. The second phase focused on developing the analyser to validate the different types of diagram.Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Science
