There was a study on this, UML in practice by Marian Petre. http://oro.open.ac.uk/35805/8/UML%20in%20practice%208.pdf http://oro.open.ac.uk/35805/8/UML%20in%20practice%208.pdf where she interviewed 50 developers across 50 companies. Here's what she found.
- 50 interviews.
- 35 people don't use it.
- 11 use it selectively, just whatever is useful.
- 3 use it just once in a project, to generate code.
- 1 uses it to comply with customer or management requirements.
- 0 use it fully.
- PinguTS 4y agoThat study is almost 10 years old. Would be interesting to know if this has changed to the better or to the worse. (Of course, depending on how you define "better" and "worse" for yourself.) ;)
- cyanydeez 4y agoResult would probably still be 0 use it fully. I love the idea, but until UML is unbiquitous to generate like prettier is to code completion, it's relegated to a pedagogical device, and not a operable road map to learning a system that naturally grows and changes
