Conclusion

UML has lots of widgets, adornments, and whatchamajiggers. There are so many that you can spend a long time becoming an UML language lawyer, enabling you to do what all lawyers can: write documents nobody else can understand.

In this chapter, I have avoided most of the arcana and byzantine features of UML. Rather, I have shown you the parts of UML that I use. I hope that along with that knowledge, I have instilled within you the values of minimalism. Using too little of UML is almost always better than using too much.
