| dc.description.abstract | Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the standard modeling language in the
software industry for graphical representation of analysis and design models. As
students step into the professional world as developers, they will be working with
many stakeholders, making miscommunication highly possible among them. In a field
that emphasizes small details, effective communication is crucial to keep projects on
track. Therefore, it is essential for students to learn UML at university to prepare them
for the industrial world.
However, learning UML is not an easy task for students. Studies have shown that
students face challenges such as confusion in implementing methods in classes,
uncertainty about the information needed to model a class (or method or attribute),
difficulty in creating arrow directions, confusion in applying inheritance concepts,
difficulty in differentiating inheritance and realization relationships, distinguishing
between types of composition and aggregation, and incorrectly creating separate
classes without any connections.
This development will result in an application named Clode (Class to Code), capable of
assisting students in comprehending the correct and precise implementation of class
diagrams, preparing them to collaborate effectively within large teams in the industrial
world. The way it operates is by translating students' designed class diagrams into JAVA
programming code. Consequently, students will learn how to practically implement
class diagrams directly into code. By examining the code directly, students can more
easily determine relationships between classes or decide which aspects should be
attributes or methods. | en_US |
