AgileUML
What it is
AgileUML is free desktop software for model-driven engineering on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It creates UML and OCL specifications through graphical or textual class diagrams, use cases, behavior descriptions, simple state machines, interaction diagrams, and a subset of SysML requirements models. The maker says it can synthesize functional Java, C++, C, C#, Python, and Swift code. Mobile generation includes Android code plus iOS Swift 5 and SwiftUI views using MVC or MVVM architectures, with libraries for authentication, cloud and local data stores, graphics, and file management. Verification and quality-analysis tools can examine specifications, including technical debt and other flaws, while test cases and harnesses can be synthesized. AgileUML can abstract Java, C, VB6, COBOL, Python, and JavaScript into UML/OCL. Model transformations include QVT-R, ATL, and ETL. Downloads include an executable, OCL libraries, translation tools, and generators; the tool runs from the command line.
For and against
For
- Free plan for desktop use
- Generates code in six languages
- Supports Android and iOS synthesis
- Includes verification and test generation
- Reverse-engineers several programming languages
Against
- Supports subsets of UML, OCL, and SysML
- Runs as desktop software
- Command-line launch is required
The verdict
AgileUML covers modeling, code generation, analysis, testing, and reverse engineering in one free desktop tool. Its supported specification subsets and command-line runtime define the boundaries of that workflow.
Who it suits
AgileUML suits software practitioners, academic researchers, and businesses adopting model-driven engineering. It is useful for teams connecting UML/OCL models with generated or reverse-engineered code.
