Visual UML is an easy-to-use yet powerful and full-featured highly UML-compliant object-modeling tool that provides complete and comprehensive support for all ten of the diagram types defined in the OMG 1.3 & 1.4 UML (Unified Modeling Language) specifications: Object, Class, Package, Component, Use Case, Collaboration, Deployment, Activity, State and Sequence diagrams, Robustness diagrams.

Visual UML also includes UML extensions for Business Object modeling, Robustness modeling, Web Application modeling (using Conallen WAE), XML modeling, and Data modeling/Database design.

Visual UML can be used for modeling many types of systems, including databases, information systems and web applications.

Plus, as a result of its comprehensive support for Activity, Collaborations, State and Sequence diagrams, Visual UML is also suitable for modeling real-time systems.
