The Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides a wide range of graphical notations and textual means to describe a software system in an abstract way. Depending upon the architecture of the system, the detailed design is often complex and difficult to maintain. This white paper discusses the Architecture Component Development (ACD) technology, a proven and comprehensive development approach, where the objective is to get a clearer, compact, more easily understandable and maintainable UML design model. Large parts, conceivably up to 70%, of the application implementation can be generated automatically from the design model according to the target application architecture. The advantages are obvious: dramatically higher productivity, better quality, and easier maintainability, whilst also assisting with creating reusable components.
