StarUML is a Windows development environment that allows you to organize the process schemes as well as simulate the program models.

Main purpose

This utility is used by software developers, project managers and system analysts for building graphics models of various processes. With the help of this app you are able to visualize hardware and software programming operations and develop the technical documentation. There are alternatives with similar functionality such as Rational Rose.

Flexible tools for building diagrams are available. Users can configure links between the function units and describe the process logic. These operations are performed with the help of the unified programming language called UML.

Development

After starting the app you can create an empty project or use an existing template as a basis. The program contains more than 20 diagram variations for visualizing different processes.

It is possible to add new objects to the workspace and create the links between them. Additionally, you can attach comments and notes to any element.

There are tools for converting the project to the PDF or JPG file format. There is an included library of plugins for expanding the software capabilities.
