UMLify: Instant UML Diagrams from Scenario Descriptions

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual modeling language for expressing the architecture and dynamics of software systems. Traditionally, creating UML diagrams required significant expertise and effort to translate user stories into visual representations. However, advancements in tools like PlantUML and Natural Language Processing (NLP) have revolutionized this process. This paper explores how these technologies can automatically generate UML diagrams, simplifying the transformation of natural language user stories into structured visual models. By focusing on the integration of NLP and UML generation tools, the paper aims to demonstrate their potential to streamline software development, improve accuracy, and enhance scalability in modeling processes.
