ABSTRACT
Good modeling practices or guidelines guide the construction of UML diagrams allowing higher quality software. When these guidelines are mapping in a CASE tool, they can support the creation of models following the UML syntax. Thus, this article aimed to verify the guidelines addressed by the open-source CASE tools that allow the creation of the five most used UML diagrams by software engineers. Therefore, thirteen tools were analyzed: ArgoUML, StarUML, UMLet, DiaUML, BOUML, Violet, UML Designer, Modelio, NClass, Plantuml, Umbrello, Open ModelSphere, and Papyrus. As results, it was found that StarUML and UML Designer attended the highest number of good practices. Although all diagrams were considered by these tools, Use Case and Sequence UML diagrams were the ones that had the most good practices numbers attended.

Domain-specific language modelling with UML profiles by decoupling abstract and concrete syntaxes
UML profiling presents some acknowledged deficiencies, among which the lack of expressiveness of the profiled notations, together with the high coupling between abstract and concrete syntaxes outstand. These deficiencies may cause distress among UML-...
A UML 2.0 profile for WebML modeling
ICWE '06: Workshop proceedings of the sixth international conference on Web engineeringIn recent years, we have witnessed how the Web Engineering community considers the use of standard UML notation, techniques and supporting tools for modeling Web systems, including the adaptation of their own modeling languages, representation diagrams ...
A Meta-Model Based Approach to UML Modelling
UKSIM '08: Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Computer Modeling and SimulationThis paper is devoted to a meta-model based approach to UML systems modelling. The approach allows creating a system model by operating with artefacts from the problem domain, followed by generation of a UML model. The discussed approach is illustrated ...
