\"ArgoUMLDescription<\/h2>\n

ArgoUML\u00a0is a freely available, open source, UML modelling tool which is popular with system developers and is used\u00a0to create diagrams based on the Unified Modelling Language (UML).\u00a0 It can create Use Case Diagrams, Class Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, Activity Diagrams and many more.\u00a0 While still garnering much support, it is coming under fierce competition from rivals such as the developers of Visual Paradigm who offer a product of a more commericial standard.<\/p>\n

Review<\/h2>\n

ArgoUML is a great tool for UML modelling, however it does have its limitations.\u00a0 Firstly, its support of the newer UML 2.0 standard is, well, non existent.\u00a0 Despite this, a lot of developers can cope with it being compliant to UML 1.1.\u00a0 Something which appears to become increasingly annoying as you use it however is the bugs that are present and the features that are missing from the software.\u00a0 Simple activities like copying and pasting cannot be completed, which can leave many a developer completely frustrated.\u00a0 Some menu options and buttons are displayed but are only part functional, or completely missing altogether.\u00a0 In addition, Argo allows you to include things in your diagrams which are not legal in UML.<\/p>\n

However, it does and continues to do well as it is not a product developed by a huge computing company but a community driven open source project.\u00a0 It’s main rival at the moment is Visual Paradigm who offer both a commericial and a free ‘community’ edition.<\/p>\n
