Software
The
SILS lab staff frequently update software options,
so information in this section may change. If you know about other
software that would be helpful for this class, please let me know!
You will need a graphics tool for drawing models.
Microsoft Visio provides
templates for the UML models we'll be drawing, as well as many other
useful features. It is available through the
SILS
lab for all
students registered for the class. If you are unfamiliar with Visio,
you may find the
Microsoft Office Online Training for Visio helpful.
As long as they have
the required elements for each model, you may use other drawing tools,
such as:
If you do
use a tool other than Visio or Powerpoint, please hand in your models
as pdf files, or paste
them into Word documents.
Please do not submit .jpg or .png files. Be sure you
acquire the tool in plenty of time for your homework assignments!
