Tool for Converting Source Code to UML Diagrams & Measuring Object Oriented Metrics in OO Java Software

Shubhangi Sakore, Ravina Kudale

Abstract: According to the Computer World, reverse engineering is commonly used as a way to make new compatible products that are cheaper than what is currently on the market. Software Engineering research and industry recognize the need for practical tools to support reverse engineering activities. The most commonly used standard today is Unified Modeling Language to depict the architecture and design of an application. Software couplings are based on object-oriented relationships between classes, specifically focusing on types of couplings that are not available until after the implementation is completed, and presents a static analysis tool that measures couplings among classes in Java packages. So, our project idea is to develop an application which would convert the given code into UML diagrams (Class Diagram and Package Diagram) and also measure Coupling in Java Object Oriented Software.
