It is a complex notational and symbolic language with many features and functions that is methodology independent. A qualitative and quantitative survey of UML users was conducted to determine the extent to which UML meets their needs. This research evaluates the qualitative responses to provide a basis to examine; to what extent do we need to include UML within IT curriculum? Keywords: UML, object-oriented analysis and design Recommended Citation: McCarthy, White, and Grossman (2005). Object Oriented Analysis and Design: Do We Need More UML in the Classroom?
