Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to abstract the unified modeling language (UML) use case diagram from input Java program. The proposed methodology first restructures the input program and then abstracts the object class features such as class name, object name, attributes, operations, and relationships. Further, the abstracted information is stored in the table called as class table. In the next step, the class table and the restructured Java program are taken as an input for the abstraction of the actors, use cases, and various relationships such as includes, extends, and generalization. The scope of the research work is restricted to object-oriented programming, hence Java programming language.
