UML

UML, or Unified Modeling Language, is a visual tool used by software developers to design and represent complex systems. It uses diagrams to illustrate how different parts of a software program interact, such as objects, processes, and data flow. Think of it as a blueprint or map that helps teams plan, communicate, and understand the structure and behavior of software before building it. UML enhances clarity, reduces errors, and facilitates collaboration among developers, analysts, and stakeholders during the software development lifecycle.
