Our students do a modelling project of a board game in the modelling course, then take the same example to generate code from the models (in another course). We also switched to Modelio after the MagicDraw debacle, for about three years now. I believe it would be better if we had more options to choose from so I hope to revisit this post in the future and be able to add a few more! In the meantime, please keep pouring your comments and suggestions. It’s not completely free for teaching purposes but it does seem (information on the website is not 100% clear) that students can get it for free while instructors should pay for an academic license.Īll in all, I think it’s clear we can find tools that could help us when teaching UML but there is no clear winner. You can easily create all types of UML models with it and it even offers some code generation capabilities. It doesn’t have the most “modern” look and feel (it’s a more traditional Java-based classic desktop application) but it does its job. We had covered it to model with the Goal Structured Notation but I had not really looked into it for UML modeling. Right now it’s completely free though its future business model is unclear. And it’s also a real modeling tool where you can even export your models as XMI files and import them in other tools for further modeling/analysis.
