Paper Title
A Case Study on UML Class Diagram, Source Code Translator based on Round-Trip Engineering by using Java Code Analysis Technique
Abstract
As programming education becomes more important in recent years, it is necessary to learn how the code written
by students reflects Object-Oriented(OO) concepts. e present a tool called the Round Trip Translator (RTT) that transforms
the Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagram and Java source code to provide a web-based environment that
provides real-time synchronization of UML and source code.RTT is a tool for students who are learning OO concepts to
understand how their UML or source code reflects the concepts that user intended. This study compares the efficiency and
user-friendliness of RTT with the existing Round-Trip Engineering-based tools. The results show that students have
improved understanding of OO concepts through UML and source code translation by using the RTT. We also observed that
students were satisfied with the use of the RTT, which provides more efficient and convenient user interface than the
existing tools.
