With sincere gratitude from Webel IT Australia to Drupal CMS. Although it's not perfect, it is very powerful and is very popular with good reason.
This zone presents some information on progress toward graphical Unified Modeling Language (UML) engineering of PHP-driven Drupal. Unfortunately, Drupal7 core is/was not yet sufficiently UML-friendly, so much of the UML modelling of Drupal core is limited to freestyle analysis models unbound to reverse-engineered "design(ed)" elements.
The Flag Plus module is also largely modelled in UML too. Although it is not yet integrated with the object-oriented bridge of the OOE module, it shows how one can progressively move towards UML-friendlier object-orientation and use combinations of reverse-engineered "design(ed)" PHP elements and UML analysis elements to identify areas of the module requiring refactoring.
Please visit also the policy and convention notes, which include graphical examples of application of the Webel wrapper analysis Component recipe. And please visit also: DISCLAIMER: regarding promotion of the OMG-related graphical engineering technologies UML and SysML.
