Usability of Rational Rose and Visio in a software engineering course
Rose K. Shumba · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2005
Rational Rose (Rose) and Microsoft Visio (Visio) are the two commonly used UML modeling tools in software engineering courses. In the fall of 2002, a project to evaluate the usability of Rose and Visio for UML modeling in an undergraduate software engineering class was started. Through a questionnaire survey, student experiences of using Rose and Visio for UML modeling were collected and analyzed. This paper outlines our findings from the research project, tool features, diagram creation, available documentation, multi-tasking ability and produced output.
